I'M WHAT I LIKE TO CALL
A cultural psychotherapist
Being born in India, growing up in Dubai, UAE, and moving to the West in my adulthood - I can relate to cultural stress on a deeply personal level. It can lead to confusion in identity, our expectations of how to navigate the world and future outlooks.
​
Through my years of practice, I've observed that we all know what we want to feel. How we'd like to spend our time and who with. Even how we want to eat and feel joy.
​
But, we are often tangled in cultural stress cycles that affect our emotions, health, bodies, relationships and careers.
​​
This is why I enjoy taking a culturally attuned approach to every client - because you are unique, no matter what cultural groups you come from.​
MY APPROACH TO YOUR MENTAL HEALTH
A holistic understanding of you.
My love for psychology and therapy stems from curiosity. My parents always said I was a very curious child, who always wondered:
Why do people behave the way they do? What happened to them?​​
​
To understand you, I explore all the shared aspects of your life story. From your childhood, your family, to your culture, traditions and values. My clients and I touch on topics varying from financial stress, body image and teachings we question from our school days. From understanding our family dynamics to female health issues - no topic is off limits to understand the whole picture that is you.
​
This sets the foundation for trust and gives us information for treatment to move forward.
I am proud to be an inclusive, Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario
