In Reeti's words
I support individuals and families navigating eating disorders and the complex emotions, relationship challenges, and life experiences that can accompany them. I understand that an eating disorder is about much more than food- it can be connected to emotional pain, trauma, body image, self-worth, anxiety, and a need for safety or control. I strive to meet each client with compassion and without judgment, creating space to understand what may be underneath the behaviours while supporting meaningful and sustainable change. I also work with families who may feel worried, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to help, providing guidance and support as they learn how to respond with empathy while navigating their own emotions throughout the process.

I also have a particular interest in helping couples strengthen their relationships through periods of conflict, disconnection, or transition. Whether you are struggling to communicate, feeling stuck in recurring patterns, rebuilding trust after hurt or infidelity, or simply wanting to feel closer to your partner, I work collaboratively with couples to understand the patterns beneath their conflict better and create meaningful change. My approach is trauma-informed and culturally responsive, recognizing that our past experiences, family backgrounds, identities, and beliefs can shape how we connect with the people we love.
With a Master of Social Work from the University of British Columbia, I use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), somatic approaches, and the Gottman Method. My work is grounded in a trauma-informed and culturally responsive framework that recognizes how past experiences can shape our relationship with food, our bodies, ourselves, and others. I believe healing is most effective when clients feel genuinely understood and supported, rather than defined by a diagnosis or behaviour. I work collaboratively to help clients develop greater emotional awareness, build coping strategies, reconnect with their values and sense of self, and develop a more compassionate relationship with themselves and their bodies.
I strive to create a warm, safe, and collaborative space where clients feel genuinely heard and understood. Whether you are navigating an eating disorder, struggling with your relationship, adjusting to a major life transition, or simply feeling overwhelmed and unsure of where to begin, therapy can be a space to slow down, make sense of what you are experiencing, and move toward meaningful change.
I offer therapy in English, Hindi, and Urdu and am committed to creating an inclusive space where clients feel seen, respected, and supported throughout their healing and personal growth.
I believe therapy offers a space to feel understood while navigating the complexities of eating disorders, body image, and relationships.

A few questions, answered
What originally got me interested in becoming a therapist was that I realized that there is not enough mental health support in the community. I wanted to address this barrier to ensure that clients receive quality therapy that is accessible to them with a therapist they “click” with.
My favorite thing about being a therapist is the opportunity to make a positive difference in my clients’ lives through equipping them with meaningful skills and strategies.
Making the decision to attend counselling is a big step and you should be proud of yourself for this. Determine what you are looking for support with and choose a therapist who you feel best aligns with your goals.
What energizes me about my career is meeting new clients every day from all walks of life and supporting them through their unique challenges. It is a humbling experience being able to learn from my clients and being that trusted person for them.
Every couple should know that it is important to take time to understand each other’s needs and values to build and strengthen a long-term relationship.
The most meaningful comments that I have heard from clients are, “You are helping me more than you know” as well as “Before therapy, I was lost, but I have found clarity now”.
