Registered Counselor

“As a skilled CBT and EMDR clinician, I apply therapeutic interventions tailored to your personality, cognition, beliefs and coping style.”

About Me

I understand that effective therapy feels unique to you. As a skilled CBT and EMDR clinician, I carefully tailor therapeutic interventions. This means our work aligns precisely with your personality, beliefs, and natural coping style. I aim to support individuals who seek a truly personal path to understanding themselves. We will work together to find practical ways forward that build on your unique strengths.

Approach

Therapy here moves at your pace: we map how your thinking, memories and habits show up, then choose small, manageable steps that feel doable. In Waterloo I offer sessions in English, Hindi/Urdu and Punjabi and provide flexible online appointments to fit family, school or work demands. Sessions combine focused skill practice, gentle memory processing and practical experiments, with clear between-session steps and space to notice what shifts. This approach tends to help people facing anxiety, trauma, relationship strain or the stresses of parenting who want steady, pragmatic change.
