I'm a first-generation South Asian-American therapist who holds space for creative expression and healing through a collaborative, anti-oppressive, and affirming lens. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental, and comforting environment for my clients individually and in a group setting. In these spaces, we can explore feelings, tap into curiosities, ask questions, share experiences, laugh, cry, and celebrate successes, big or small. Although therapy is an experience that the client and therapist embark on together, I believe that each client has the ability to harness their strengths to find a path that gives them meaning and purpose.

Life’s journey may bring times of challenge, uncertainty, and pain. It’s natural to feel overwhelmed, stuck, or powerless at times. Facing these moments alone can make them even harder. In therapy, I hope to collaborate with you to build a compassionate and empathetic relationship where it is safe to be curious, observe, reflect and grow. Together we’ll understand the sources of distress in the context of your identities and experiences, try out different coping skills and identify what works best for you. We will also explore ways to navigate difficult situations in your life to support you in being your most authentic self.

If you're not living the life you love, lets talk about it. I work with highly ambitious, driven people whose lives seem to be going well on the outside – but privately, they're in pain. My clients may also experience lack of focus and procrastination. The cause may be evident or waiting to be discovered. Either way, something needs to be addressed in order to fully blossom, and my clients are willing to do the work to address it.

Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable, and highly responsible people who feel stuck in recurring patterns despite significant insight and effort. They may struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, chronic self-criticism, conflict avoidance, or a persistent sense of disconnection from themselves or others. Together, we work to understand the emotional and relational patterns underlying these difficulties. Therapy offers a space to explore these struggles with care, gain insight into their roots, and begin to make meaningful changes that support growth, connection, and greater engagement in living.

My goal in the therapy room is to help you explore and love all versions of yourself while navigating paths that bring you meaning. I want to help you understand you, your identity, what influences you, your values, what motivates you and what drags you down.
We'll look at how you navigate the world currently. And then let's figure out what changes would help you. Not what changes you THINK you need to make, but the ones that are actually going to support you while navigating this difficult and important path. We will take the time that is needed to explore and grow.

We are all works in progress and the world around us can steer us in the wrong direction.

If you’re finding yourself stuck in the same relationship patterns, therapy can be a great place to explore a new way of connecting with others. Oftentimes, what gets in the way are unhealed wounds, survival strategies that have outlasted their effectiveness, and fears of experiencing the same emotional pains. Through deep exploration of these dynamics with yourself and others, I help my clients engage in the hard work of building relationship security. I can help you cultivate self-compassion, improve your communication skills, and get more in touch with your emotional experiences.
