Hi there! You may be feeling overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, or stuck, unsure why things are not improving despite your efforts. Your mind might feel constantly on, cycling through worries, self-doubt, or what-ifs, making it hard to move forward. You may be living with anxiety, stress, burnout, or low mood, while also navigating cultural expectations, your identity, or pressure to keep functioning for others. You are looking for a safe, culturally affirming space to slow things down, make sense of racing thoughts and emotions, and feel understood in your full context, with practical tools and insight to break out of stuck patterns.
I provide queer-affirming, culturally responsive therapy. As a psychologist with a South Asian background, I am attentive to how cultural expectations and identity shape distress. Given my neuropsychology background, my work takes a whole-person view and blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with emotion-focused approaches, adapting to what is in front of me.
Reaching out for support can feel difficult, especially when you have been carrying a lot on your own. You do not have to have everything figured out to begin. If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure what is happening, I welcome the chance to talk and explore whether working together feels like the right next step for you.
