You might be carrying a lot—trauma that lingers, a brain that works differently (hello, ADHD), or the weight of navigating cultural or racial identity in spaces that don’t always get it. Maybe you’ve felt like you’re too much and not enough at the same time. You might want to feel more grounded, build better boundaries, unlearn shame, or just make sense of your story. If you are from a South Asian (or similar) culture, or neurodivergent, or simply feeling out of sync, I offer a space where you don’t have to explain the basics—you can just be.
I work from an eclectic, person-centered lens rooted in psychodynamic, relational, and somatic interventions—plus some ACT, DBT, and parts work magic. My style is collaborative, culturally attuned, and grounded in real connection. Basically: less clinical, more human.
We might talk nervous systems, boundaries, or inner child work—and sometimes we’ll pull from fandoms, film, or anime to make it click. (Yes, I will catch that Marvel reference.) If you’re looking for a therapist who meets you with warmth, insight, and zero judgment—I’m here. Let’s start wherever you are.

It's important to work with someone that understands your identity, background and culture. I aim to be non-judgement and work from a lens of cultural humility.
