Currently, she works with first responders, RCMP, military personnel and members of the general public in Alberta.

Kanika believes that everyone has the strength within them to persevere and be resilient in the face of life’s challenges. Sometimes, we may just need someone to help us shed light on these internal resources. Kanika views therapy as a collaborative journey. She works from a client-centred orientation, creating an empathetic and non-judgmental space for her clients. She draws techniques from several empirically-supported therapeutic modalities including Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Prolonged Exposure Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Therapy.
