Meet Sanofer
My experiences and interests give me a unique understanding of…
Balancing multiple responsibilities while navigating your own emotions, needs, and challenges. Sometimes, we become so focused on taking care of everything and everyone around us that we forget to make space for ourselves.
That there is often more to a person's story than what others see, and I value the opportunity to understand the experiences that have shaped who you are today.
My cultural or ancestral background is…
South Asian Indian background; I have been shaped by a conservative, collectivist family environment and a patriarchal society.
These experiences have given me an appreciation for how family expectations, relationships, responsibility, and social pressures can influence our decisions and emotional well-being.
I understand that balancing the expectations of others with your own needs can be complicated, particularly when expressing emotions, setting boundaries, or choosing a different path feels difficult.
My clients describe me using words like…

My clients often self-identify as…
Those navigating grief, childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, chronic illness, ADHD, mood disorders, personality-related difficulties, anger, or low self-esteem, we can explore what you are experiencing and what may be contributing to it.
Struggling with relationship difficulties, emotional regulation, boundary setting, career decisions, suicidal thoughts, narcissistic abuse, or the effects of domestic violence, whether you have experienced abuse or are concerned about your own behaviour.
I’m the right therapist for you if…
You want to feel heard, understood, and comfortable enough to speak openly about what is really going on.
You want to build a genuine therapeutic relationship where you do not have to pretend to be okay or find the perfect words to describe your feelings. I want to understand things from your perspective, walk alongside you through difficult moments, and help you make sense of experiences that may feel confusing or overwhelming.

If we work together you can expect to feel…
That our sessions are collaborative and guided by your needs, goals, and pace. Together, we can explore your thoughts, understand your emotions, recognize patterns, and develop practical ways to manage life's challenges.
That we are having honest conversations, getting to the heart of what matters, and addressing difficulties without unnecessary drama or exaggeration. I strive to listen beyond the words being spoken, understand the person behind the struggle, and offer thoughtful support that is relevant to your needs. For me, therapy is about meaningful conversations and genuine effort, not simply saying what sounds good.
That you do not need to have everything figured out before starting therapy; sometimes, understanding what is happening is the first step toward change.

During your free consultation, we’ll go over…
What has brought you to therapy.
How your concerns affect your daily life, and the impact they may have on your emotional and physical well-being.
What you hope to achieve through therapy and discuss therapeutic approaches that align with your needs and preferences.
Any questions you may have, learn about my approach, and determine whether we feel like a good fit to work together. There is no pressure to continue if you feel another therapist may be better suited to your needs.
If we work together you can expect me to…
Help you process difficult experiences, strengthen emotional regulation, build healthier boundaries, and respond to situations differently. Rather than assuming there is one solution that works for everyone, we will work toward finding approaches that feel meaningful to you.

Booking FAQ
Does Sanofer offer direct billing with my insurance? Or how does payment work?
First Session charges each session directly to your credit card. Once each session occurs and your card is charged, you’ll receive a PDF receipt by email with all the details you need to get reimbursed (therapist name, designation, license number, address, etc.). You can then submit the receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement if you have coverage. We always recommend checking your coverage with your provider before booking.
How do I know if Sanofer is a good fit?
You are the expert when it comes to knowing who’s the right fit. Watch the therapist’s video at the top of their profile and see whether the message and energy resonate. If you feel drawn to speak with them, listen to your gut — booking a free consultation is a great first step to assess fit.
What if I see no available times to book a session?
If the therapist is listed as accepting clients and you see no available times, it’s likely they haven’t updated their availability (sorry about that!). In this case, you can to see what times they have available.
