I am a South Asian-American psychotherapist with a public health background who specializes in perinatal mental health, trauma, and the life transitions related to pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting. I am particularly passionate about exploring how race, culture, proximity to immigration, and identity influence our journeys into and through parenthood. As a therapist, I enjoy holding space for folks who identify as people of color, multi-racial, and/or as first- and second-generation immigrants as they navigate the transition to parenthood and throughout the parenting journey.
I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a primary intervention during therapy, and this alliance is the foundation for the work we do together. As a therapist, my role is to listen, bear witness, and provide active support as clients unpack, examine, and reflect on their experiences. No one should carry heavy things alone!
I bring a fresh voice, honesty, and humor to my work, and I want my clients to feel seen, heard, and validated. I'm committed to providing a supportive space for BIPOC and first- and second-generation immigrants to explore how culture, race, and immigration narratives impact their parenting journey. If you feel like you're bushwhacking, I'll walk with you.
