About me

I am a Master’s-level therapist with 10 years of post-Masters experience supporting individuals through a wide range of mental health challenges. I earned my Master’s degree from the University of New England in the United States and completed my Bachelor of Arts at Simon Fraser University.

Throughout my career, I have worked both as a therapist and a college instructor, providing counselling services in English and Punjabi. My clinical experience includes supporting individuals dealing with alcohol addiction, anger management, trauma, depression, anxiety, social anxiety, OCD, loneliness, relationship challenges, thought disorders, and the psychological impacts of motor vehicle accidents. I am deeply committed to creating a safe, culturally responsive, and compassionate space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered.

In addition to my clinical work, I am passionate about education and mentorship. I have taught at multiple colleges across Canada and served as a subject matter expert in the development of a counselling psychology course in 2021. I value contributing to the growth of future professionals in the field.

I have also been recognized as a mental health expert in the media, including appearances on the Harpreet Singh Show on JOYTV, where I discussed various psychological topics. My insights have also been featured in Drishti Magazine.

Born in Mackenzie, BC and raised in Surrey, BC, I bring both professional expertise and personal understanding of diverse communities to my work. My approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based practice, with a strong focus on helping individuals build resilience and lead meaningful lives.
