My background in higher education, training and development, intercultural communication, and project management has given me years of experience working with students and professionals from all walks of life. As an Autistic ADHDer myself, I understand the classroom and workplace are not always neurodivergent-friendly and this motivates me to use my creative and pattern-recognition abilities as a catalyst for positive change. I believe that everyone deserves to and can become the fullest version of themselves and I am here to support and cheer you on along the way.
My special interest is ADHD and Autism, so I am always researching and learning more. My core values are authenticity, compassion, and holistic growth, which I weave into my coaching and consulting practices. I believe we are all worthy of belonging, doing meaningful work, and unconditional rest. I am also a first-generation Canadian-born child of immigrants, which has not only impacted how my neurodivergent traits show up but also how I’ve navigated work and school. I hope to share my experiences and learn from yours as we co-create ways for you to thrive. Together, let’s embark on a journey of discovery, transformation, and empowerment.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with my own ADHD diagnosis. I understand the struggle and shame of living in a world that wasn’t built for neurodiversity. I have seen through my work with others and myself that ADHD really means difference, not deficit or disorder. As you learn more about how your brain wiring works, you can begin to live within your strengths. Neurodivergence often comes with other things like anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues and relationship struggles. My role as a therapist is to support your discovery and growth in a safe and compassionate space. I partner with you as you gain awareness and acceptance of your unique experience and build on innate capacity. Together we work towards achieving your goals, doing well at work, thriving in your relationships and finding peace within yourself. My goal for my clients is for you to create a healthy self-image, confidence and a clear vision for a future with meaning, balance and purpose. My therapy approach is informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Let’s connect and see what is possible for you.

As someone on a personal and ongoing journey of self-exploration, I understand the importance of compassionate self-acceptance in discovering our potential. Self- discovery is a courageous and fundamental process for personal growth. My approach to therapy is integrative and person-centered, with a focus on empowering clients to
recognize their personal strengths and capacities to tackle life’s challenges with grace and humility.
As a trained teacher and a Masters of Arts in Counselling Psychology, I have extensive work experience in clinical and educational spaces, providing therapeutic services for individuals diagnosed with ASD, ADHD and specific learning differences such as dyslexia and dyscalculia.
I approach my work from a culturally humble lens, recognizing that my clients are the experts of their own experiences. By adopting a not-knowing stance, we can engage in mutual inquiry through collaborative dialogue to explore your unique perspective and
experiences. My goal is to create a space free of judgment where you can feel comfortable discovering your most authentic self.
I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). I offer services in English, Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu.
I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey of self-exploration and
acceptance!

I have been working in education, advocacy, case management and youth mental health for the past 20 years. I am a Registered Social Worker and I first began practicing as a Counsellor in 2009. My work is informed by anti-oppression, intersectionality, social justice, harm reduction, neurodiversity and positive psychology. I take an integrative and strengths-based approach to wellbeing that understands the interconnectedness of our whole being. I am a Certified Reiki Master and Holistic Health Practitioner. As part of my counselling practice, I offer to teach meditation and breathing techniques that help calm the mind. My modalities of choice include Trauma Informed Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Nature-Inspired Mindfulness, support for Highly-Sensitive People (HSP) and Narrative Therapy. My approach is collaborative and honours the strengths and wisdom that everyone brings to their own healing journey.
Our biggest healing breakthroughs can come from cultivating self-love and having kindness and compassion for ourselves. Self-love helps us boost our self confidence and sky-rocket into our happiest and most joyful life. I believe that all of our struggles connect to larger social and structural realities, and understanding this allows us to cultivate more kindness for ourselves and others. As a Registered Social Worker sessions are covered under insurance plans.

I’m passionate about supporting and destigmatizing the way people view and experience neurodivergence. My primary goals as a coach are to empower folks to recognize their intrinsic worth and building systems together to address the rest. I believe that everyone is sovereign and worthy of meaningful support, compassion and respect.
I have a degree in Child & Youth Care which afforded me a diverse background in supporting and advocating with children, youth and families. I’ve supported folks from varied levels of intersecting experiences and systemic marginalization. Should we walk this path together, you can expect to be treated with unconditional acceptance, patience and understanding.

dedicated my academic and professional career to working with students in early childhood and post-secondary settings with varying abilities, goals, and dreams and have had the privilege of watching them flourish.

learning styles, and experiences and help you surpass you ambitions.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and late-diagnosed AuDHD (autistic and ADHD) person. I have
experienced my own challenges of feeling ‘different’ and navigated mental health issues as I came to understand myself and my own needs. I understand how challenging and freeing it can
be to process your identity, and that it is not always a linear path. My experience as a client in
therapy has had a great influence on how I developed my own approach to working with clients.
I approach therapy from a gentle and curious stance, as I aim to meet my clients where they are
at in their healing journey.
My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment for my clients
to better understand themselves and to work collaboratively to address any challenges along the
way. I believe that every client has unique needs that deserve to be honoured through a
personalized and tailored approach to care.
I use an integrative approach with my clients, meaning that I have experience in different
therapeutic modalities that I will adapt to best fit my client’s needs. The modalities I use include
Emotion-Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy,
Psychodynamic, Somatic, and Strength, and Compassion-based. My work is approached from an
anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, neurodiverse, and LGBTQIA+ lens.
I hope that my clients may find meaning in their past and present experiences and that it can be
transformative in how they perceive themselves, others, and the world around them. If you are
curious about working together, please feel free to contact me to discuss any questions you may
have.

I’m passionate about supporting each student in their individual path, and working to develop strategies that help you best get what you want out of education- with particular attention to neurodivergence/disability as it is experienced and lived with. I’ve worked for over a decade with neurodivergent/disabled students as young as 5, and ranging to students in post-secondary school.

I am a certified primary, junior, and senior teacher in the Province of Ontario, where I have taught, supported, and mentored students at all stages of their academic journeys. As a teacher as well as a Student Success Coordinator, I am passionate about students achieving their academic goals.
From learning the foundations of math to understanding phonics in elementary school to coaching learning skills in university, my goal has always been the same: to give students an exceptional student experience as a part of their learning journey. To me, student success has a different meaning to different students, and my goal is to help students define their own “student success” through student-centred and inclusive approaches.
I have a background in Psychology, International Education, and Curriculum Studies. I’ve also been a Student Success Coordinator for several years, supporting domestic and international students with their learning. A fun fact about me is that I have a goal to visit Canada’s national parks by the time I turn 35. I’m getting there!

I am a passionate and dedicated educational professional who enjoys supporting students to reach their fullest potential. With over 12 years of teaching, advising, and coaching experience, I aim to inspire others to think of “success” as a journey of self-discovery while gaining the tools to be resilient during setbacks and times of difficulty. I have worked in different educational settings locally and globally, including public schools, government-funded language programs, and post-secondary environments.
Currently, I am working as a learning strategist in a university setting helping undergraduate and graduate students with a wide range of academic study skills and course preparation strategies. My own lived experiences as a racialized person from an immigrant family and graduate studies in social justice, equity, and inclusion have also shaped how I understand and respond to the unique needs of diverse populations. I would be grateful for the opportunity to help you move forward in your learning journey and look forward to working together.
