About me
I’m a psychologist from India, with experience both in Canada and India. I am dedicated to help people with anxiety, depression, self image, daily life issues and much more. I have also worked with substance use disorders and addictions. I’m an expressive art therapist and also an Associate Addiction Counsellor by CACCF.
Mental health practitioner with cumulative exposure across hospital, community, and school-linked settings in India and Canada. Has worked with adolescents and young adults (approximately 13-25 years) across addiction, emotional regulation, early intervention, and psychosocial support contexts.
Experience includes individual counselling, psychoeducational group work, withdrawal-management environments, and youth support programs, primarily in supervised or team-based settings. Trained in CBT- and DBT-informed approaches, expressive arts-based interventions, and harm-reduction frameworks, with a growing focus on youth mental health, habit formation, and prevention-oriented care.
