Therapy is a space for you to be fully yourself. My commitment is to come alongside you with my whole-hearted authentic self.
Together, we can undo aloneness, face what feels hard, and create room for connection, healing, and growth.
My Approach
At our core, we're wired for connection. When we feel that connection life feels full and we feel able to respond to hard situations. When it's disrupted, through loss, shame or unmet needs, our nervous system adapts to protect us. Therapy is a space to slow down and notice what your whole self is communicating...
Meet Ajay
Some people like to know who their therapist is outside the office, so this part's for you. I believe therapy works best when both people bring their real selves, and I hope knowing a bit of mine makes it easier for your most tender, honest parts to come forward.
I moved to Canada from India at 6, grew up in the Okanagan, and have lived in Langley since 2011. My life is mostly music, sports and people.
I love ideas, creativity, and conversations about what it means to be human: spirituality, purpose, the Enneagram, and how we grow. I laugh easily, think deeply, and value both presence and play.
Travel is soulfully nourishing, and I'd rather be in nature than a museum. At home: good TV that makes me think, and almost any comedy special.
I’m active most days — usually at the gym or playing soccer but I’m happiest when I’m with people I love. If we’re longboarding, surfing, skiing, hiking, or playing music, I’m probably at my best. My “competitive sports” were soccer and badminton.
I live in my headphones, playing, listening or thinking about music. I'm a drummer who loves emo and pop-punk, though lately I'm playing more guitar.
The first professional feedback I got in grad school was "Ajay is fun." I didn't appreciate it then, but I've realized “fun” is part of my core self. The part that connects me to my most grounded, present, alive self. We all have a part like that, waiting to be seen and wanting to flourish.
My hope is that therapy helps you reconnect with (or discover) yours.
