About
My journey began as a grassroots community organizer many years ago. As a queer, multiracial South Asian femme and racialized settler on Turtle Island, I came to understand the deep connections between personal experiences and broader social issues. I dedicated my work to empowering women, the South Asian community, BIPOC communities, queer and trans liberation, migrant rights, anti-colonial efforts, and disability justice. Driven by a desire to better address the impacts of oppression and trauma in people’s lives, I completed a Master’s in Social Work (MSW) more than a decade ago. This decision was rooted in my belief that healing from trauma is an essential part of the journey toward our collective liberation. I am continually inspired by the resilience and creativity of the folks who come to see me for therapy.
My approach is grounded in a client-centred and collaborative process that respects your unique needs and lived experiences. I work electically and draw from
