In her personal life, Sukhpreet enjoys spending time with her dog Kobe, traveling, reading, and trying new foods (always open to recommendations)! 

Dr. Kaur's Statement:

"I believe in fostering a strong therapeutic relationship as the foundation for effective treatment by working collaboratively to set and achieve meaningful goals. I aim to integrate present-moment experiences with insights from the past, which not only drives progress, but also nurtures a deeper understanding of oneself along the way."
