I became a therapist to help people explore their stories with care, curiosity, and compassion—especially those who’ve felt unseen or unheard in traditional mental health settings. As a first-generation South Asian American woman and Queens native, I’m deeply committed to providing culturally responsive therapy, including services in Bangla. My experience spans community mental health and outpatient settings, supporting individuals facing challenges such as trauma, anxiety, depression, and identity-based stress. I work from a trauma-informed, whole-person care approach that centers on safety, resilience, and emotional growth.

I have about 15 years experience providing CBT, DBT, Brief therapy, Solution Focused, and Play therapy.
Like the lotus flower, we often begin in murky waters—navigating pain, uncertainty, trauma, loss, or life transitions that feel overwhelming. Yet the lotus does not bloom in spite of the mud; it blooms because of it. Its roots anchor deeply in the darkness before rising steadily toward the light. I believe the same is true for people. The challenges you face, do not define you. They are part of your soil. With the right support, insight, and tools, those experiences can become the foundation for resilience. As a licensed mental health provider, I view each client as capable of profound transformation.

Many clients come to me because they're overwhelmed by anxiety, navigating the effects of trauma, or trying to hold everything together in the face of relationship strain, parenting challenges, or family conflict. Some are working through the impact of domestic abuse or adoption and foster care experiences. Therapy offers a space to unpack all of that, without judgment or pressure. I see therapy as a collaborative journey, where you're in the driver's seat. My role is to be alongside you, offering support, perspective, and guidance.

Who is play therapy for?
Play therapy is generally targeted to children between the ages of 3 and 11 who have social, emotional, or behavioral difficulties. Play therapy has also been found helpful for children who have experienced physical or emotional abuse or witnessed atrocities. Play therapy is also often recommended for children who are undergoing major medical procedures or who are suffering from chronic illness; many children’s hospitals are equipped to offer play therapy on-site. Play therapy is also sometimes used for adults; creative writing, music, and art are expressive forms that can all be adapted for therapeutic purposes.
Why do people need play therapy?
Children often do not have the language skills or words to know or to express what is troubling them. Yet they often spontaneously draw or use playthings to depict scenarios that reflect problems in their everyday life. Play therapy provides children with an array of objects and play situations to act out their feelings or experiences so that therapists can get a clear picture of what children might be struggling with and help them find solutions. In addition, play therapists are skilled at helping children understand their inner experience and find words for them, necessary steps toward helping children learn to control their own behavior and come up with solutions to problems they encounter.
What happens in play therapy?
A child enters a comfortable playroom where they are free to choose the objects they want to play with. The play therapist will typically observe how they play with the toys—whether a sandbox, puppets, dolls and action figures, trucks, costumes, drawing and painting materials, or more—because such play provides clues to a child’s family and social relationships, difficulties they are encountering in the world, and what going on inside themselves. Sometimes the therapist may ask the child to use the play objects to tell a story about their family. Using the same instruments of play, therapists can help children discover more advantageous ways of thinking and behaving.
What kinds of problems do play therapists treat?
Play therapy can help children who display destructive or self-destructive impulses; children who seem angry, sad, or fearful; children who experience frequent social, emotional, family, or school difficulty. Play therapy is often of value to children who have experienced a loss or distressing family experience, who are regularly exposed to family conflict, or who have been physically or emotionally abused. Play therapy can help children who are perpetrators of bullying as well as those who are targets of bullying. It helps children learn to identify their feelings, to express them in constructive ways, and to regulate them so they can get on with the business of development.
How long does play therapy last?
Play therapy sessions may last for 30 to 45 minutes, and they usually occur weekly for about 20 sessions. Each session is tailored to the individual child and the kinds of problems they are struggling with. Play that is highly repetitive often indicates a problem requiring further exploration. Therapists typically measure progress through session-to-session changes in play behavior.
