Couples Therapy - Clinical Counselling

Couples Counselling helps the couple identify the negative cycle they are experiencing together (one partner triggers the other, then their reaction triggers the other, and then their reaction triggers the other again...and so on).

Couples Counselling helps the couple identify the negative cycle they are experiencing together (one partner triggers the other, then their reaction triggers the other, and then their reaction triggers the other again...and so on). This is beneficial no doubt to identify and start to understand, but what we do takes couples counselling to a whole new level: we infuse trauma-informed, evidence-based practices at specific points in the counselling process to heal both the underlying and unhealed past for each partner, as well as heal the ruptures and traumas that were caused within the relationship.


Teen Counselling

Teen Therapy, also known as “Teen Counselling” or “counselling for teenagers,” is a supportive process where teenagers (aged 13-19) work with a trained therapist to explore and address emotional, behavioural, or mental health challenges.

Teen Therapy, also known as “Teen Counselling” or “counselling for teenagers,” is a supportive process where teenagers (aged 13-19) work with a trained therapist to explore and address emotional, behavioural, or mental health challenges. It provides a safe, non-judgmental space for teens to talk about and work through issues like anxiety, depression, peer pressure, self-esteem, family conflicts, or school stress. Although 20% of adolescents and teens (12-18) will suffer from a serious mental health challenge, and 50% of all mental disorders begin by early adolescence, through therapy, teens may process negative past events, and gain coping skills, emotional insight, and strategies to navigate life’s challenges, fostering resilience and personal growth.

Life can be overwhelming, especially when anxiety, self-doubt, and past experiences weigh heavily on your heart and mind. You may find yourself thinking, “I don’t want to feel like this,” or “I know I shouldn’t think this way, but I can’t help it.” If you’ve tried pushing through, distracting yourself, or leaning on friends but still feel stuck, you’re not alone. As a compassionate and collaborative therapist, I create a safe and supportive space for you to explore your emotions, uncover hidden strengths, and build a deeper connection with yourself.

Offering services in English and Hindi, my approach is person-centered, strength-based, and trauma-informed, meaning we work together to understand your unique experiences and develop tools that genuinely resonate with you. Using an eclectic blend of CBT, ACT, Emotionally-Focused Individual Therapy, existential therapy, mindfulness, grounding techniques, and nervous system regulation, I help you cultivate emotional resilience, process past pain, and navigate life’s transitions with greater ease. Whether you’re struggling with self-esteem, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, or stress, our sessions will be a space for self-discovery and compassionate healing.

Beyond my work as a therapist, I find joy in traveling, hiking, yoga, and spending time in nature. As an immigrant with professional experience in both India and the U.S., I deeply understand the complexities of cultural transitions and identity. My own non-linear life journey allows me to connect with the diverse experiences of my clients with empathy and openness. I believe healing is not just about overcoming challenges but also about embracing growth, self-acceptance, and finding meaning. Let’s work together to help you move forward with confidence and clarity.

When you’re going through trauma or difficult life events, it can often feel like you’ve reached the end of the road. Many of my clients come to me feeling completely overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, and without hope. They’re not sure if healing is even possible anymore.

Sometimes, what makes the biggest difference is simply knowing that someone is there to truly listen—without judgment, with care, and with understanding. I believe that offering this presence can be the first ray of light in what feels like darkness. That gentle reassurance often becomes the beginning of hope.

Through a holistic and individualized approach, I will gently guide you at your own pace—integrating evidence-based techniques like Trauma-Focused CBT, DBT, and EMDR—to support your healing journey in a way that honors your unique story, pain, and strength.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with a strong focus on trauma-informed care. I specialize in working with teens and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and emotional dysregulation. With experience supporting clients through evidence-based approaches like TF-CBT, DBT, and now EMDR, I’m passionate about helping people lead their best lives now—grounded in self-awareness, resilience, and healing.

I offer sessions in English, and Hindi.

As a cisgender female, I hold an LGBTQIA2S+ positive space. I am open to all cultures, religious faiths, and spiritual perspectives, and while I find strength through Christianity in my personal life, I follow your viewpoints and tailor your treatment to your life.
