Hi! I’m Priyanka. I’m passionate about my work as a mental health professional and committed towards meaningful social impact through ethical practice. I find myself continually fascinated (and humbled) by the richness of the human condition, and believe in the power of honest reflection, emotional attunement, and embracing vulnerability in helping us lead fulfilling lives.
I provide individual psychotherapy for adults from diverse contexts, where I seek to offer an affirming holding space, and be a compassionate witness to one’s subjective experience. Grounded in the belief that each of us possesses resources that can be accessed to facilitate healing and growth, I adopt a person-centered and collaborative style of working with clients, tailoring therapy to meet their specific needs. Fueled by my love of learning, I periodically avail training opportunities that enhance my therapeutic capacity. (Often I find that the clients I work with are my greatest teachers)
In my view, psychotherapy is an explorative and experiential journey, which can be challenging and transformative. In this process, I seek to meet each person where they are at, and accompany them on their unique journeys of self-discovery. I prioritize co-creating a supportive therapeutic alliance, and empowering individuals to navigate the complexities of being human with wisdom, courage and compassion. My practice is dedicated to helping others heal deep wounds, nurture a secure inner relationship, and cultivate enriching lives that honour their authenticity. My therapeutic orientation is relational, somatic and trauma-focused. I use a holistic and integrative approach, which draws from from the internal family systems model, integral somatic psychology, mindfulness, humanistic-existential and multicultural frameworks. Presence, attunement and embodiment are cornerstones of my practice.
I am curious about the world and find meaning in leaning into life. I am nourished by music, trees, literature and art. I cherish the company of people and animals, and often find myself looking to have an adventure or a laugh. In every therapeutic journey, I am inspired by the resilience of the human spirit, holding hope for our collective healing.
