THE PRACTICE

I am a strong believer that the mind is everything, and what you think, you can become. With the right tools one can make significant, and positive changes in personal growth. I believe seeking help is not a weakness, but a strength. I understand the complexities that people face in stressful situations, and work with clients to help resolve them whether that is your mood, thoughts, motivation, relationships, work, career or anything else that is important to you. I have a vast range of experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, domestic violence, custody and access issues, cultural, and intergenerational issues. 

​

I am registered in both British Columbia and Alberta as a Psychologist. I have worked in different front-line positions with those suffering with mental health problems related to trauma, family, relationships, substance misuse, parental and intergenerational trauma. This experience has informed my practice which uses a trauma and strength-based approach, cognitive-behavioural Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), dialectical behavioural therapies, as well as an incorporation of mindfulness practice.

​

The ability to reach out shows resiliency to the temporary problem that one is enduring. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them establish and achieve their goals.

Therapy can be provided in English, and Punjabi.

IHello Everyone! I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC). I understand, and respect, the vulnerability affiliated with engaging in the counselling process. I aspire to create a therapeutic space that is warm, compassionate, inclusive, and collaborative. Everyone brings a unique, and complex, narrative into therapy, and they will always be the experts of their lived experiences. I view counselling as a relational process, and I value client collaboration to facilitate sustainable change. 

Operating from a client-centered, biopsychosocial, and culturally-informed framework, I draw from the following modalities to provide support to clients: 

• Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)

• Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP) 

• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

• Solution Focused (Brief) Therapy (SFT)

• Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)

I consider myself an eclectic therapist, as I draw from a combination of therapeutic modalities to address the individualized needs of clients. As a BIPOC male counsellor, of Indian descent, I am passionate about incorporating cultural components into my counselling process (where appropriate). Some of my areas of interest include: 

• Anxiety

• Mood Disorders

• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

• Men’s Health

• Adolescent & Youth Counselling

• Geriatric Counselling 

• Perfectionism

• Complex Life Transitions 

• Trauma

• Multicultural Counselling

I have experience working in both public, and private, mental health, and I have worked with Indigenous (First Nations, Metis, & Inuit) youth. I look forward to serving my clients, and embarking on a path towards well-being, tranquility, and joy with you. 

I am currently accepting new clients.

I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW) and Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC). I have experience working with individuals, couples, families, and groups from inpatient, community, and virtual settings. I have the privilege supporting clients within the areas of: depression, anxiety, relationships, trauma, grief and loss, chronic pain/illness, ADHD, personality disorders, substance use, and addictions.

My framework for practice is informed by training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Mentalization Based Therapy (MBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I offer a safe and accepting space that honours the expertise of clients’ strengths and experience. I encourage clients through clarifying therapy goals and identifying any barriers in the way of living a life worth living.
