Curious . Critical . Creative

I am a counseling psychologist and visual artist. Grounded in an existential-humanistic framework, I approach therapy with a persistent gentleness and depth.

I emphasise emotional embodiment and address its impossibility in contemporary society with curiosity and hope

The Struggle is real

Life often leaves us feeling stuck in patterns we didn't choose. You might recognize yourself going through the motions, disconnected from who you truly are beneath layers of expectations, cultural pressures, and societal labels.

This disconnection shows up everywhere - in relationships that don't feel authentic, in career choices that drain rather than fulfill you, and in the exhaustion of constantly code-switching between different parts of your identity. For queer individuals, this struggle can be particularly intense - navigating family expectations while honoring your authentic self feels impossible. And when traditional approaches to healing don't make space for all of who you are, even seeking help can feel like another exercise in hiding.

Therapy doesn't have to be another space where you conform. At Thodi si Therapy, we create a container where all aspects of your identity are welcomed and celebrated. Through a blend of existential psychotherapy and creative expression, we'll work together to help you reconnect with your authentic self, navigate complex cultural dynamics, and discover new possibilities beyond the patterns that no longer serve you. This isn't about following a prescribed path - it's about finding your own way forward with thoughtful companionship along the journey.

How can I help you?

True Cultural recognition

Finally work with someone who understands the nuances of Punjabi family dynamics, cultural expectations, and community pressures without explanation. As a Punjabi therapist with lived experience, I create a space where cultural context isn't just acknowledged but deeply understood, allowing us to move beyond surface-level discussions to the heart of your challenges.

Authentic Queer Affirmation

Experience therapy that genuinely celebrates rather than merely tolerates your queerness. My specialized training in queer affirmative practices combined with my own identity as a non-binary person means your gender and sexuality will be honored as vital parts of who you are, not treated as problems to be solved or aspects to be navigated around.

Creative Breakthrough Pathways

Access emotions and insights that traditional talk therapy can't reach through expressive arts techniques. Drawing from my six years of visual arts education and specialized certification in expressive arts therapy, I offer creative approaches that bypass intellectual defenses when words alone aren't enough.

Holistic Identity Integration

Discover how to live authentically at the intersection of all your identities without compartmentalizing different aspects of yourself. My approach, rooted in existential psychotherapy, helps you explore meaning and purpose beyond societal categories, allowing you to craft a life that honors the complexity of who you truly are.
