About Misha

Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected, or you’re carrying the weight of past trauma, it can be hard to know where to start. I’m a Registered Psychologist with over 10 years of experience helping children, teens, adults, couples and families work through trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions and relationship challenges.

My approach is client-centred and culturally responsive. I believe you are the expert in your own life. When you feel stuck or lost, part of my role is helping you tune back in to your own gut sense of what’s right for you, so you can start moving toward a life that feels true to who you are. I draw from a range of approaches, including EMDR, ACT and DBT, and tailor them to you.

I also provide psychological assessments for children and adults, including psychoeducational assessments for learning disabilities, ADHD and giftedness, and autism assessments. I’m trained in the ADOS-2 and ADI-R, two widely used tools for identifying autism. Assessments are booked through Solasta’s free assessment call, where we’ll match you with the right psychologist.

My interest in this work comes from my own journey with mental health, trauma and illness. I know how hard it can be to ask for help, and how powerful therapy can be when it’s the right fit. I believe small, intentional steps lead to lasting change, so together we’ll set goals that feel realistic and fit your values. My hope is that you leave feeling empowered to take charge of your own life story.

I love working with people from all walks of life, and I’m especially passionate about supporting immigrants, BIPOC communities and clients from diverse cultural and faith backgrounds. I offer therapy in English, Urdu and Hindi.

How I work

EMDR

Helps your brain reprocess painful memories so they feel less raw. I’m trained in EMDR with adults and children, including Ana Gomez’s child-focused approach with sandtray.

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy

Learning to make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward what matters most to you.

Play therapy for children

For younger children, play is how they process big feelings. I use Synergetic Play Therapy and sandtray so children can work through things in a way that feels natural.

Also:

person-centred therapy, DBT, CBT, narrative therapy and trauma-focused approaches.

A bit more about me

When I’m not at Solasta, I’m usually spending time with family and friends, getting outdoors, or watching funny cat videos. I also love taking my quirky cat for walks. I believe healing doesn’t have to be heavy all the time, and sometimes a little humour goes a long way.
