About Me

l3

I am a settler who was born and raised on the stolen unceded, ancestral territories of the Semiahmoo, sq̓əc̓iy̓aɁɬ təməxʷ (Katzie), Kwantlen, kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem), Qayqayt, and sc̓əwaθenaɁɬ təməxʷ (Tsawwassen) Nations. My parents were uninvited guests from India. I am also cis, currently non-disabled, and fat. These lived and living experiences have greatly shaped the ways I am experienced but also how I show up in relationships.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with a Masters of Arts degree in Counselling Psychology. I am passionate about working from an intersectional justice oriented framework.

I have experience working in the non-profit sector and in my own practice for over a decade. I am deeply moved and grateful to the people and communities who I have had the opportunity to work alongside. For more information on my counselling approach.

Alongside my counselling practice, I am a supervisor and professor. I supervise several teams providing health care services and counselling services, practicing counsellors and student counsellors. In addition, I am adjunct faculty at Adler University and City University, and an instructor at Vancouver Community College. For more on my supervision work.

Furthermore, I provide workshops and consultations to organisations, teams, and boards.  If you’re interested in accessing workshops/trainings or consulting services, please see consultations for more information.

As part of an ethical practice, I am engaged in ongoing clinical supervision with a peer group and with Vikki Reynolds. For more information on Vikki, please visit her website.

I am bilingual and can provide services in both English and Punjabi.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, sitting by the water, listening to live music, and most importantly hanging out with my niblings.

I am an uninvited settler working on the stolen, unceded traditional territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh), Qayqayt, and kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem) Nations.
