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 self-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 embrace a collaborative approach 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 healing deep wounds, nurturing a secure inner relationship, and cultivating enriching lives that honour our authenticity. My therapeutic style is person-centered and relational, informed by the trauma and attachment lens, internal family systems, integral somatic psychology, mindfulness, and humanistic-existential frameworks. Presence, compassion and embodiment are cornerstones of my approach.
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.
