“Ceasing to create pain in the present and dissolving past pain—this is what I want to talk about now.” — Eckhart Tolle
Hi! I’m Sapna!
Welcome! I recognize that it takes courage to share your story, and I deeply respect the trust that comes with that. I approach each client with curiosity, compassion, and without judgment, striving to create a safe and supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and encouraged throughout your journey. I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). I am an EMDR and IFS trained therapist. My work is trauma-informed, my goal is to I prioritize safety, pacing, and choice throughout the therapeutic process.
My counselling style is warm, open, and collaborative. I am committed to fostering a strong therapeutic relationship and tailoring our work together to meet your unique needs. I use an integrative, evidence-based approach, drawing from a range of therapeutic modalities to best support your goals. I believe that healing involves both addressing present challenges and working through the impact of past experiences. Together, we can explore ways to reduce current distress while gently processing what may still be held in your mind and body.
My Approach To Therapy
My approach is grounded in creating a supportive environment, building a therapeutic space where you can show up just as you are, without feeling judged or needing to have everything figured out. You deserve to be seen as a whole person, with your own story, experiences, culture, challenges, and strengths.
-
Together, we’ll explore how your past experiences and relationship patterns may be showing up in your life today, helping you understand yourself more deeply, break old cycles, and create meaningful change.
-
You’re more than the challenges you’re facing—together, we’ll create a warm, non-judgmental space where you can feel truly heard, reconnect with yourself, and move toward the life you want.
-
Together, we’ll explore how your relationships, family dynamics, and the roles you’ve learned to take on may be shaping you today, so you can understand patterns, strengthen boundaries, and create healthier ways of relating.
-
Your therapy should fit you—not the other way around. We’ll draw from different therapeutic approaches to create support that feels personalized to your unique needs, goals, and experiences.
What to Expect in Sessions
Every person's story is different, which is why I adapt my approach to fit your individual needs and strengths. I draw from internal family systems therapy, and attachment-based work tailoring each session to what feels most helpful for you. Whether you're healing from past experiences, trauma, navigating life's challenges, or hoping to build healthier, more fulfilling relationships, we'll work together at a pace that feels right for you.

Your Therapy Experience – Real, Honest, and Supportive
-
You don’t need to have the right words or have everything figured out. Come as you are—we’ll start with what’s going on and figure it out together.
-
If you keep finding yourself stuck in the same emotions, relationships, or cycles, we can look beyond the surface and understand what’s really driving them.
-
No cookie-cutter treatment plans here. I’ll pull from approaches like EMDR, IFS, attachment work, and more to shape therapy around you, your goals, and what actually feels helpful.
How I Want You to Feel After a Session
I want you to leave feeling a little lighter, more understood, and more connected to yourself. Even when we’re working through difficult things, my hope is that you walk away with greater clarity about what you’re feeling, why certain patterns keep showing up, and a sense that you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
