I'm a South Asian Neurodivergent therapist looking to support Individuals (10+) facing anxiety, depression, ADHD coaching, cognitive disabilities, culture or faith-based struggles, life transitions, stress, trauma (culturally-specific, childhood, racial, religious, PTSD), self-esteem issues, LGBTQ2+ struggles, mood and personality disorders (i.e. BPD) and suicidal ideation. With empathy and cultural sensitivity, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your experiences. I'm here to help cultivate self-compassion, empowering individuals to nurture a kind and accepting relationship with themselves.
My approach is person-centered and mainly based on CBT, EFT, Psychodynamic therapy, Logotherapy, IFS, Narrative and Mindfulness-Compassion Modalities. I hope to learn more about DBT and ACT in future trainings. My previous experiences in Clinical Psychology and the Medical field, also help inform a holistic perspective in my care.
Feeling alone and overwhelmed? Together, we can explore the roots of your struggles, uncover underlying patterns, and develop strategies to cultivate connection and fulfillment in your life. Remember, reaching out for support is a courageous step, and I am here to walk alongside you on your path to healing and finding a sense of belonging.
