About Me

I am a trauma specialist who guides survivors of sexual, physical, racial, or homophobic violence. My aim is to help you safely address and process your experiences. You’ll find my approach warm, responsive, and transparent, creating a space where even challenging topics can be explored playfully. I use tools from different therapeutic models. My work always maintains a feminist, anti-oppressive lens, offering a grounded path for healing.

Approach

Sessions move at your pace, balancing gentle curiosity with clear structure to explore how past harms show up now. I offer in-person work in Brampton and secure online sessions in English and Gujarati, shaping timing and check-ins to what feels manageable. Using mindfulness, ACT and trauma-focused practices I help you notice bodily signals, practice grounded skills between meetings, and craft values-based choices that reconnect you to agency. People seeking a practical, culturally aware and anti-oppressive approach tend to find this collaborative rhythm helpful.
