I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and a senior candidate at the Toronto Institute of Psychoanalysis. I completed a post graduation in Research Psychology from the U.K. and hold a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology in India. Prior to moving to Canada to pursue my psychoanalytic training, I worked as a Psychological Associate in India for several years offering brief (time-limited) strength-based, client-centered, psychotherapy as well as ongoing, long-term (open-ended), intensive, psychodynamic-informed psychotherapy with adolescents and adults.
I work with a broad range of issues including complex trauma (e.g., emotional, physical, psychological, sexual abuse) and relationship problems. The work we do in therapy will be informed by an understanding of your general difficulties and the symptoms you are experiencing. I work using an integrative approach and draw from the various therapeutic models that I have been trained in including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), attachment-based, mindfulness-based and psychodynamic approaches. I incorporate my understanding of child development, family dynamics and socio-cultural factors to guide my understanding of your concerns and needs. We will work collaboratively to set out the goals that you wish to achieve in our work together.
