Meet the counsellors behind the practice

With over 9 years of clinical experience and more than 16 years in the behavioural sciences, I bring a structured, compassionate, and goal-oriented approach to therapy.

Before becoming a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), I spent 10 years working with children, youth, and families in roles including Preschool Teacher, Education Assistant, and Child and Youth Care Worker with the Surrey School Board. I also spent four years as a Residential Program Coordinator at Phoenix Society, supporting individuals navigating complex mental health, substance use, and life transition challenges.

As an RCC, my clinical experience has spanned addictions treatment, family counselling, primary care, and private practice. I worked within a private addictions treatment facility, where I led the family counselling program and supported individuals and families impacted by substance use and addiction. I later worked alongside a family physician within a medical clinic, providing counselling support to patients experiencing mood-related concerns, mental health challenges, and the psychological impacts of motor vehicle accidents.

In 2021, I founded my private practice, which has since grown into Wellness Talks Health Centre, a multidisciplinary group counselling practice. As Clinical Director, I oversee clinical services while continuing to work directly with clients. I have also expanded the practice into a teaching and mentorship environment, providing clinical supervision and supporting counselling interns as they develop their professional skills and clinical practice.

At Wellness Talks, I work collaboratively with clients to develop clear treatment plans and meaningful short- and long-term goals, so counselling feels focused, supportive, and aligned with your values.

My work is grounded in attachment science, trauma-informed counselling, cultural awareness, and family systems. In addition to my clinical work, I provide clinical supervision and mentorship to emerging counsellors and interns. I also serve as an Oral Adjudicator on the Exam Faculty for City University of Seattle's Master of Counselling program.

Sessions are available in English, Punjabi, and Hindi.

My work is grounded in attachment science, emotional safety, and relational healing. At Wellness Talks Health Centre, I collaborate closely with clients to develop thoughtful treatment plans and clear short and long-term goals so therapy feels purposeful, supportive, and structured.

I have extensive experience supporting clients through relationship conflict and communication breakdown, rebuilding trust and emotional intimacy, premarital counselling, fertility journeys, pregnancy, postpartum adjustment and motherhood transitions, perimenopause and menopause, anxiety and emotional overwhelm, family stress and attachment wounds, grief and identity shifts, and ICBC counselling for post-accident adjustment and fear of driving.

My approach combines warmth and emotional depth with practical tools and direction. I believe therapy should help clients feel both emotionally supported and empowered with strategies they can carry into daily life.

I'm a Registered Clinical Counsellor supporting individuals, teens, and youth who are navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, burnout, people-pleasing, and self-criticism. I offer virtual counselling across British Columbia and in-person sessions in Vancouver.

My goal is to create a calm, grounded, and non-judgmental space for clients who may feel hesitant, stuck, or unsure about starting therapy. At Wellness Talks, I work collaboratively with clients to develop a clear treatment plan and set meaningful short and long-term goals together, so therapy feels supportive, structured, and aligned with your personal growth.

Many of the people I work with appear high functioning on the outside but feel exhausted or disconnected internally. Together, we slow things down, build insight into emotional patterns, and develop tools that strengthen confidence, boundaries, and emotional regulation.

I believe our relationships, identities, cultures, and past experiences can shape how we connect with others — and how we understand ourselves.

My work draws from Emotion-Focused Therapy, attachment-based therapy, narrative therapy, trauma-informed approaches, and EMDR. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, I help clients understand the patterns underneath what they are experiencing and begin creating new ways of responding, connecting, and relating.

A significant part of my practice is couples and relationship therapy. I support couples navigating recurring conflict, communication difficulties, emotional distance, trust concerns, sexual disconnect, differences in desire, and intimacy within long-term relationships. These conversations can feel vulnerable, and my goal is to create a space where both partners can feel heard while we work toward greater understanding and connection.

I also offer EMDR therapy for clients who have experienced trauma or distressing life experiences and want support processing experiences that continue to affect their emotions, relationships, or everyday lives.

My work with youth and adults from diverse cultural and identity backgrounds is especially meaningful to me. I understand that relationships, sexuality, identity, and mental health don't exist separately from culture, family, community, and belonging. Therapy can be a place to explore all of these parts of yourself without having to simplify who you are.

Above all, I want you to feel that you can bring your full self into the room — including the things that may feel complicated, uncomfortable, or difficult to put into words.

You don't have to have it all figured out before you begin. We can start there together.

I am currently completing my Master of Counselling Psychology at City University of Seattle and have experience supporting individuals and families through community counselling and social service settings.

My experience has included supporting clients navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, relationship and family conflict, grief and loss, life transitions, interpersonal difficulties, stress, and challenges connected to family systems and community supports.

I've always valued meaningful conversations and genuine human connection, which is a big part of what drew me toward counselling work. I believe therapy should be a space where people feel heard, respected, and safe enough to explore what they're carrying at their own pace.

At Wellness Talks, I hope to support clients in building self-awareness, emotional regulation, healthier relationships, and coping strategies that support both healing and personal growth. Sessions are available in English and Punjabi.
