My Approach to Healing

I am here to help you actualize your full potential. My work centres on practices from the Comprehensive Resource Model, helping you to build an internal scaffold of resources that supports the reconciling of overwhelming life experiences. I believe that health is achieved through integration of mind, body and spirit. As we learn to regulate our nervous systems, we become more able to participate in the joys and challenges that life brings. Healing our own wounds helps us build the capacity to be present for ourselves and the collective.

Professional Background

I have been a Registered Social Worker since 2018. I also have experience as a Registered Nurse, practicing from the years of 2001-2019, in diverse clinical environments including acute medicine, intensive care, mental health, community nursing, and palliative care.

Training and Therapeutic Frameworks

I have completed the three-year Somatic Experiencing® program and am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. I have also completed Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) Basic and Advanced trainings. CRM—which includes processing intergenerational trauma and reclaiming the lost and forgotten gifts of our ancestral lineages—primarily informs my work. My training also includes narrative, psychodynamic, and attachment theories. I have completed the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program, and maintain a daily meditation and yoga practice that supports me in the work that I do.

Ancestry, and Lived Experience

My biological ancestors come from Nepal and India. My family immigrated to Canada in the 1980’s and I grew up in Ontario. I currently live and work in Mississauga, which is the traditional territory of many Nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and Wendat and Wyandot Nations. I have an interest in the ways in which our ancestry, colonialism, capitalism and patriarchy shape our experiences and our interactions with one another. I am an LGBTQ-positive, poly-positive, and sex-positive practitioner. My work is rooted in principles of restorative justice and personal and collective liberation. I am open to critique, feedback and deeply committed to my own learning and growing.

I strive to build a therapeutic relationship that honours your unique needs, develops your strengths, fosters your innate ability to heal, and helps you understand and move toward your highest purpose.
