I have been a therapist for over 25 years. I work with individual, however, I specialize with couples and families. Issues are a part of life, however, they don’t have to run our life. Being proactive rather than reactive is an important aspect in empowering ourselves to look at things that feel so scary. Our fears can magnify the reality of a situation to where we feel like we are about to climb Mt. Everest rather than going up a hill.

Difficult life transitions can lead to anxiety and depression, making it a time when we need support, guidance, and a holistic self-care plan. I’m a trauma-informed clinical psychologist, a certified yoga instructor, and a certified perinatal mental health specialist with extensive experience working with adults, facilitating groups, and providing clinical supervision to graduate students. Therapy can provide the opportunity to discover what we really need to be our best selves.

We all have the innate tendency to heal in the presence of a skillful and trusted other. Emotional pain can be intense and overwhelming. At times, it can feel like our relationships are filled with little else. We might try to push it aside or distract ourselves only to find it still there, just as frightening. But there are paths through the hurt to feeling well and connected.

You might want to work with me if you have a hard time identifying your own needs, frequently over-give, easily absorb other people's emotions and energies, make yourself small, and struggle to assert yourself. Our work together can help you feel more grounded, whole, and in alignment with yourself, with better boundaries, more self-confidence, and healthier, more secure relationships. And as a queer, South Asian therapist, I have a nuanced understanding of identity and the impact of systems on our lived realities.

As a queer, immigrant clinician and an east coast transplant to California, I understand what it's like to be a newcomer, an outsider, and someone struggling "between worlds." I enjoy working with people who have an experience of not quite fitting in, not quite finding their ground, or belonging - and with seekers and questioners of all kinds interested in getting in touch with their values, owning their authenticity, and healing attachment in relationships. I do this through exploring the stories we tell ourselves, identifying how they shape our sense of power, selfhood, and connection to the world.

As a therapist, I am passionate about providing space for my clients to explore the full range of their experiences and to find more satisfaction, authenticity, and connection in their lives. I tend to see the majority of behaviors and patterns that cause distress as creative ways we have learned to cope with life experiences, cultural and familial legacies, relationships, and social influences. My goal is to join with you to create a space of empathy, curiosity, and safety that is adaptive to your unique needs, helps you uncover the wisdom behind your distress, and encourages you in making the changes you seek to make.

I specialize working with trans, queer, bisexual, lesbian, questioning, and gay people of color (Black, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Latino/a/x/e, Multiracial/Biracial), providing gender- and queer-affirming care. I can provide letters of support for gender-affirming surgery. I work well with folks who are self-aware but sometimes "to a fault." You find feelings hard but really want to work on "feel the feelings!" You are willing to take risks and be real when something is hard. You want a change but feel stuck, and are down to try both new and old things. You want to be a better person/friend/partner/coworker/child/etc.

My experience comes from 31 years of helping children, adults, couples and families in both Community Mental Health and Private Practice. My approach is eclectic and tailored to each individual's needs to facilitate healing and growth. Through my years of experience I have witnessed over and over again people coming into therapy with great pain, discomfort and despair but with time, (sometimes within a very short time) their symptoms diminish and a whole new person emerges. Crisis times can be extremely painful and distressful but they can also be opportunities for growth and healing through therapy.

Trauma takes many forms; often in the guise of unprocessed grief and loss. Loss of employment, financial insecurity, divorce, separation, domestic violence and abuse; all must be mourned. We become stuck; often not understanding our own reactions to people, places and things. Our partners, children, colleagues and superiors can appear to feel unfairly entitled to what we have to offer. Our ability to tolerate distress is limited.

I have worked since 2005 with a variety of clients with depression, stress, men's issues, self esteem, and other life challenges, primarily in community mental health with marginalized and underserved communities. I see people seeking support for many difficulties, including:imposter syndrome, self-esteem, boundaries, communication skills, and more. Reducing self-judgment and increasing curiosity about your self will help you to make better decisions that are aligned with your core values. This will ultimately unhook you from negative thoughts or worries so you are more fully available for all the important things in your life.

Everything you need to become the best version of you is already within you. As humans, we get stuck in patterns, narratives, and behaviors that once proved useful only to find that they've now become sources of pain and obstacles to living happy authentic lives. Lucky for us, humans are intrinsic healers, and with the right environment, our individual and collective healing knows no bounds.
