Welcome! My therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in my experience as a second generation South Asian raised in an immigrant family, with a deep curiosity for intergenerational differences in coping styles.
We are often tasked with learning how to navigate our "Eastern" and "Western" ways of being, often referred to as 'interdependence' and how we choose to determine that depends on our subjective values, a topic we can explore in our work together. I work closely with both adults and older/geriatric adults navigating intergenerational family differences to live a more meaningful life.
How do we know if we are a 'right' fit? As anything new we are trying for the first time, sometimes it means giving it a try once or a few times to see how things go. My approach in therapy relies on the interpersonal approach, meaning, there is value to using the therapeutic alliance to model/role-play your intended values/goals. Conversational in Gujarati
I am passionate about working with adults and older adults eager to try therapy for the first time, late life meaning, sort through intergenerational expectations and trauma, coping with narcissistic family members, and caregiving a loved one with dementia, Please call or email to schedule a complimentary consult!
