Maybe you know exactly what’s wrong. Maybe you just know you haven’t felt like yourself lately. Whatever brought you here, we can work with it.
Hi, I’m Khushi.
MSW, RSW · Registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers · Virtual across Ontario
Therapy doesn’t have to be stiff to be meaningful. You can swear. You can go on a tangent. You can tell me about the group chat drama for ten minutes, because it matters, and I’ll probably have thoughts. We can be serious without being solemn, and we will laugh in session. That’s not a break from the work. It’s often where the most honest stuff falls out.
I’m a social worker by training. That means I was taught to look at you and everything around you: the family that shaped you, the community around you, and the systems you’re up against. I don’t think you can talk someone out of a problem that’s partly structural. I also don’t think you’re powerless inside it. I believe in doing things badly at first. And I believe most people are far less behind than they think.

I like getting paid. I’d like it more if you eventually didn’t need me. The goal isn’t a standing Thursday appointment for the next six years. It’s for you to build the internal skills you’re currently outsourcing to me, and then go live your life. We’ll talk early on about what “done” looks like, and we’ll keep checking that we’re heading there.
Your life outside therapy matters whether that’s hobbies, friendships, goals or the little things that make you feel like yourself. Therapy can help with what’s hurting, but I also want us paying attention to what you’re building.
Validation is the floor, not the ceiling.
You don’t need one more person telling you your feelings are valid. You already know they’re real. The more useful question is what they’re trying to tell you, and what you’re going to do about it.
Sometimes support sounds like “That makes sense” and “I can see why you reacted that way.”
And sometimes it sounds like “I understand why you believe that. Let’s see if there’s another way of looking at it.”
Good therapy is compassionate and honest. Your feelings make sense in context, but that doesn’t mean every thought is true, every reaction is helpful, or every pattern needs to stay. Together, we’ll look at what’s underneath the problem and figure out what’s keeping it going. Then we’ll make changes that leave your life feeling more manageable, more meaningful, and more yours.
No forced positivity. Ever.
I’m genuinely an optimist, but I won’t tell you everything happens for a reason and ask you to find the silver lining in something that is simply bad. What I’ll help you build instead is the ability to hold a hard thing without it running your entire life.
