Hi! I'm Shikha.
I help you create healthier, meaningful, and lasting change in yourself and in your relationships.
I am a relationship and relational trauma therapist. I specialize working with clients with relationship issues, relational trauma, stress, depression and anxiety.
My areas of expertise include couples counselling, individual therapy for people with relationship issues, and family therapy to build secure relationship with each other. I am passionate about helping my clients build stronger connections with themselves, their partners, and their families, learn effective communication skills, and create fulfilling relationships that last.
How I work and what this means for you
My approach is rooted in empathy, non-judgment, and creating a safe space for you to explore your feelings and concerns. My style is approachable and a conversational. I come to the session being a human first, then a therapist. I believe that therapy should be a safe space where clients can express themselves freely, without fear of judgment or criticism.
I am passionate in helping you see long-term meaningful change. I believe that every relationship is unique, and I tailor my therapy techniques to meet the specific needs of each individual or couple. My goal is to help you develop the skills and resilience you need to overcome your challenges and create a healthy, loving, and long-lasting relationship.
My work is balanced between using treatments backed by research as well as human experiences. Whether you are dealing with a specific issue or just looking to improve your overall relationship skills, I am here to help you on your journey towards a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life.
