I have worked primarily with POC and other American Cultural Minority populations, including South Asian survivors of domestic and sexual violence, LGBTQIA+, and many others. As a first generation Tamil-American, I have extensive personal and professional experience with model minority stressors, cultural trauma, immigration abuse, religious abuse and various other struggles common for those that identify as a minority in America. I believe that therapy is meant to be a space of mutual collaboration, to help work towards and help understand those aspects of your life that motivated you to seek guidance.

I’m also experienced in and passionate about supporting the LGBTQIA+ and Asian American communities.
Knowing ourselves can be tough. Accepting and loving ourselves? Even tougher. So if you’re struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, understanding your identity, or navigating relationships with loved ones who may or may not accept you for who you are – well, you definitely aren’t alone! As a teen and even into adulthood, there can be a lot of stumbling blocks on the path toward celebrating who you really are. It can be a challenging journey… But the good news? It’s not a journey you need to take by yourself. You can find support and guidance along the way. And it can all feel a lot easier than it might right now.

As a South Asian and BIPOC clinician, I have experience working with adult individuals with disordered eating, mood disorders, trauma & PTSD.
Seeking clarity in therapy can leave you feeling supported and be relieving. As a licensed professional counselor in Texas, I provide virtual therapy for adult individuals. When you experience symptoms such as low moods, triggering thoughts and body image distress, this may lead you to feel overwhelmed with anxiety, depression or even stress and fatigue. Many people suffer in silence and avoid working on their thinking patterns which can lead to more challenging emotions like guilt, shame and unworthiness that can reinforce dysfunctional beliefs and behaviors endlessly.

I specialize in guiding South Asian teens and young adults through the landscape of intergenerational trauma.
You’ve always felt like a bit of an outsider. As a child of immigrants, you constantly feel torn between two worlds. On one side are your family and their traditional values of respect and sacrifice. And on the other is the American culture of individualism and autonomy. No matter what you do, you always seem to minimize some integral part of yourself. As you’ve gotten older, you’ve become more adept at navigating these distinct worlds, but the conflict still exists within you. You’re desperate to somehow live outside of the world’s judgments and expectations. If only it were possible to just be yourself. But you don’t know how.

As an Asian American who also identifies with the mixed-race community, I am also passionate about empowering clients towards developing an identity and sense of self that is confident and bold in embracing one's unique identities.
Currently an LPC-Associate under the supervision of Lauren Coats, LPC-S. For some, starting therapy can feel daunting. The thought of even going to one's first therapy session can often lead to the question of "What do I even say if I go?" I create an environment where individuals do not worry or feel responsible for answering this question. Through creating an atmosphere of empathy, warmth, and connection, I invite individuals to be curious, self-compassionate, and determined to create the life they want rather than feeling overwhelmed by shame, the voices of their own inner critic, or trapped in life circumstances.

Asian Therapists

Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?

A culturally sensitive therapist would be respectful and considerate of different groups, with regard to race, sexual orientation, gender, and other factors that are important to an individual. These considerations can help a client feel understood as well as validated. While some people think highlighting race could promote stereotypes and bias, more understanding and knowledge about cultural differences is a positive for a healthy therapeutic alliance.

How can I recognize an effective Asian therapist?

You can discern a lot by asking how familiar the potential therapist is with different cultures, as well as asking how they might address issues related to identity, values, and beliefs. Also inquire about their education, as well as any particular training they may have completed, such as cultural sensitivity or diversity and inclusion programs.

What if the therapist does not have my exact background?

The therapist may not share a client’s exact background, but the therapist may have plenty of hands-on experience as well as the sensitivity needed for therapeutic progress. Their sensitivity to different populations will help the client feel accepted and comfortable in sharing their concerns and difficulties.

How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Asian clients?

A therapist with an Asian background may have experience within their community, as well as broader cultural sensitivity. Ask the potential therapist whether they've worked with individuals who share your background. If they have not worked with similar clients, they may well know someone who has such experience.

Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Asian therapists?

The directory of Asian therapists includes professionals who have shared their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason; also, when the number of therapists identified as Asian is limited, the directory will also show therapists with comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
