Are you juggling responsibilities and expectations, while trying to figure out who you are? Are you looking to work through the effects of painful experiences? I get the complexities having multiple struggles. I work with teens, adults, and people in relationships - those want support with their identities and relationships, immigration and cultural experiences, and the ways complex trauma is showing up in their lives. I specialize in working with the South Asian and Asian American Pacific Islander community.
As a second-generation South Asian American, I understand what it's like to carry cultural and family stories about who you're supposed to be. Together, we’ll explore the stories you’ve inherited — about identity, responsibility, and what it means to be “good” — and gently begin to rewrite the ones that no longer serve you.
You don’t have to choose between your identity and your relationships. In therapy, we’ll make space for both — and for your voice, your needs, and your future! Call or email me for a free 15-minute consultation if you're interested in working together!
