Background: Pirntha has over six years of experience supporting individuals across diverse settings, including community-based programs, hospitals, non-profit organizations, housing programs, and private practice. She has worked with adults navigating trauma, grief, emotional pain, infidelity, substance use, self-criticism, shame, low self-esteem, and significant life transitions, and the impacts of systemic oppression. Her professional background includes providing case management and counselling to women and adults experiencing substance use, human trafficking, incarceration, homelessness, and complex mental health concerns, as well as crisis support for survivors of sexual violence.

Perspective: Pirntha approaches therapy with the belief that healing begins when people feel seen, safe, and valued. She understands how overwhelming it can be to live with inner voices that are harsh, self-critical, or perfectionistic, and she works alongside clients to explore where these voices come from and the roles they play. By meeting each person with respect and compassion, she creates a space where difficult emotions can be unpacked gently, making room for resilience, self-compassion, and a stronger sense of self. Grounded in feminist and anti-oppressive practice, Pirntha honours client’s autonomy, validates their lived experiences, and considers the social and structural factors shaping mental health. Her goal is to foster meaningful healing and growth with compassion, respect, and curiosity.
