My Approach

I provide relational and psychodynamically oriented depth therapy with the aim of adjusting long standing patterns of behaviour that promote suffering and inhibit growth. Suffering can take many forms. Some common manifestations are anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, chronic loneliness, and dissatisfaction with life. My psychotherapies are free flowing and guided organically by your unique qualities.

I work from the belief that a person cannot be entirely separated from their cultural perspective, biases, and values. Consequently, I disclose to clients that I identify as a cis-male of South Asian and Canadian heritage. When making sense of ourselves it is important to remember we are always members of a broader society. Insight into our social positions of power and marginalization add important context to understanding why we make the choices we make.

I have provided clinical and forensic professional psychological services in the US and Canada for over 10 years. I have extensive training in contemporary relational psychodynamic psychotherapies.

Alongside private practice I have been employed for the state of California as a Staff Psychologist.
