Carl Jung quoted "I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become". Are you looking to learn coping mechanisms to manage symptoms of trauma, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, sleep challenges, negative thoughts? Are you navigating life transitions and working towards achieving your life goals? Are you looking to work on past trauma, intergenerational cultural trauma or South Asian cultural trauma? Are you and your partner going through fertility treatments, in your perinatal or postnatal phase and looking for support during this journey? Are you an overwhelmed student?

My approach to therapy is rooted in trauma-informed and integrating different modalities like CBT, EMDR, DBT, narrative therapy and psychodynamic theories to work with individuals and families from diverse backgrounds. We can collaboratively explore and navigate challenges to support in living a life that feels authentic to you with compassion and empathy.

It is incredible that you are here looking for supports to achieve your goals. Realizing that you need help is the first step towards healing. I invite you to book a session with me and let us walk together in your healing journey to live a life that feels more authentic to you.
