South Asian communities are one of the largest ethno-cultural groups in the province and tend to access mental health and substance use services less often than the general population.  Issues such as stigma, lack of resources and also language can be barriers to accessing mental health support.

I grew up as a 1st generation, punjabi-speaking son to immigrant parents from Punjab, India. I recognize the importance of culturally-sensitive and trauma-informed counselling services in the south asian community to address the following issues:  depression, anxiety, grief, substance use, behavioral addictions, relationship and family conflict.   If you or a family member can benefit from punjabi-speaking counselling services, feel free to contact myself for a consultation.
