Mental health challenges are due to the aftereffects of traumatic experiences. Trauma can place a strain on your family, work, relationships, and even cause issues with self-worth. I specialize in trauma therapy along with treating personality disorders, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and addiction. All these disorders can look different from person to person, and that is where our therapeutic journey of empowerment and self-exploration begins. I concentrate on creating a safe space of growth and self-discovery through unconditional positive regard, emotional regulation, and guided activities.

Tensions occur daily between self and other, body and mind, knowing and doing – those rifts that leave us isolated and dissonant. What drew me to psychotherapy is the art of supporting people in letting go of what no longer serves them and standing more fully with themselves in thought, feeling, and being. My approach is shaped by a lifelong curiosity with narrative: how we tell the story of our becoming, and how that story can be rewritten, again and again.

Do you have trouble with anxiety, depression, and relationship/family issues due to trauma? Past experiences can create imprints onto your brain that activate your fight/flight responses whenever your emotions feel dysregulated, but life without the constant feeling of being on edge is possible. Those traumatic memories don’t have to permanently influence who you are meant to be. Through therapy, you will gain control of your feelings/thoughts and your response to everyday life hurdles. Healing from trauma can create healthier beliefs about yourself and your relationships along with sustainable changes.

Something brought you here — and that matters. Maybe it's anxiety with no clean explanation. Maybe you're carrying two worlds at once: your family's expectations and your own sense of who you are becoming. Maybe you're a new parent who has lost the thread of yourself, or a tech professional who has optimized everything except how you actually feel. You don't need the right words yet. I work with young adults, tech professionals, new and expectant parents, and immigrants — including many from South Asian and East Asian communities. Sessions in English, Hindi, and Bengali.

Do you often feel overwhelmed by anxiety, racing thoughts, or self-doubt that won’t quiet down? Maybe you find yourself stuck in cycles of rumination or OCD, unable to rest or feel fully present. These patterns often trace back to earlier life experiences and unresolved stress. Therapy can help you make sense of these responses and start building a life that feels more grounded. I use a collaborative, client-centered approach that draws from somatic and mindfulness practices to help regulate your nervous system and create a more peaceful inner world.
