Hello and thank you for visiting my page! I'm so glad you're here. 

I’m deeply passionate about my work as a psychologist. My interest in mental health began while growing up in a typical Punjabi household, where I received a lot of different messages about emotions and mental health. I often heard that family problems should stay within the family, that emotions should be kept hidden, and, of course, Bollywood's portrayal of mental illness often involved people being sent to an institution. Looking back, it was a confusing way to understand mental health—and one of the reasons I became so curious about people, emotions, and the stories we tell ourselves.

Now, I feel incredibly grateful to do this work every day. Being a psychologist brings me a strong sense of purpose, meaning, and fulfillment.

I provide individual therapy for adults experiencing a wide range of mental health concerns. I work with people from diverse backgrounds and identities, including those navigating mental health challenges, cultural and family expectations, gender and sexual identity, life transitions, and questions about who they are and how they want to live. Together, we create a space where you can feel understood, explore what matters most to you, and move toward a life that feels authentic and meaningful.

I also provide psychodiagnostic assessments for a variety of mental health conditions, as well as ADHD assessments for adults. I take a thorough and thoughtful approach, looking at the whole picture—including your strengths, life experiences, cultural context, and any overlapping concerns. My goal is to provide clarity, understanding, and practical recommendations that can help you move forward with confidence.
