I am a multicultural, holistic, trauma-informed, LGBT+ affirmative therapist and a core believer in resiliency of human spirit. Though you may consider me as the professional/expert, you are the expert of your lived experiences. I strongly believe that the client has a right to both be a recipient as well as an influencer within the therapeutic relationship. My job as a therapist is to act as guide while you are empowered to tackle both inner and outer barriers. I aim to hold a space for those who may not have access to any other arenas to feel heard and understood.

Welcome, I am so glad that you are here. Whether you are facing relationship, family, or work issues, I am here to help. Today is a great day to show up for yourself and tap into the personal growth that I believe we all are capable of. As a client-centered psychotherapist, I strive to offer a supportive, non-judgemental, and safe space to work collaboratively towards your goals. Embracing a trauma-informed approach, I incorporate Psychodynamic therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness into my practice with the goal of offering an individualized therapy experience.

I am passionate about giving my clients a voice and supporting them in becoming the best version of themselves. Working closely with the client in the treatment process and providing the client with the necessary skills to achieve lifelong change is something that is important to me. To make this possible, I am always looking for new interventions that are individualized, and assisting the clients in using the insights and knowledge gained in psychotherapy, to develop effective coping skills, interpersonal skills, distress tolerance skills, communication skills and proficiency in personal stress management and symptom management.

It feels like you and your partner are speaking different languages. You say something, and they misunderstand. They reply, and you misinterpret that. There's a language barrier, and something is getting lost in translation. You feel unheard, alone, and unsure of what to do. You want so badly to explain to your partner how you feel and have them truly understand where you’re coming from. This cycle of misinterpretation has become so predictable that you’ve stopped talking about anything real in your relationship. You avoid each other and behave more like roommates than partners. You’d like to get back to feeling seen and connected.

Therapy is a process that takes time, patience, and consistency. As your therapist, I will provide a judgement free environment along with my undivided attention to each client. I believe that everyone carries the strength to overcome a difficult situation within themselves. With a little bit of support and encouragement, we can come out stronger than before. I welcome every client regardless of cultural background with a warm, empathetic, and attentive personality. I am fluent in English, Urdu, and Punjabi.

Are you struggling with the painful remnants of a recent break up, seeking to put an end to unhealthy relationship patterns and/or facing difficult childhood experiences holding you back from moving forward? Perhaps you're worried about seeking therapy due to cultural stigma or finding yourself at odds with cultural expectations placed on you by society? Born in India, raised in New York, I recognize the unique pressures and conflicts faced by individuals caught between two seemingly opposing cultural identities. I utilize a multicultural lens that provides a safe space to explore these internal and external sources of tension.
