For many people, having a therapist who may look like them, shares a similar culture or community as them, and/or understands the complexities of juggling the Eastern vs Western cultures are vital for the success of their therapeutic journeys. That's where I come in. For the majority of my time in this field, I've been a therapist to folks from within the BIPOC & South Asian diaspora, to immigrants & children of immigrants, and to survivors of gender-based violence & trauma. My expertise in providing culturally aware services and a safe space for complex histories can support you in reaching your most authentic and well self.

In my approach to therapy, I tailor my methods to each client's specific needs. I draw on evidence-based techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. By using these approaches, I help clients identify and address the underlying issues contributing to their struggles.

I am a firm believer that everyone can benefit from therapy. My primary goal is to make each of my client’s therapeutic experiences as comfortable and safe as possible.

I see our lives as a tapestry made up of threads representing various challenges, opportunities, failures, triumphs, and experiences that can sometimes seem random or chaotic. It is in these moments of personal turmoil that we often have the greatest potential for emotional growth through self-reflection and self-awareness. Together, through a trusting and non-judgmental relationship, we will explore your strengths and challenges to help you overcome the turmoil and eventually helping you reach your full potential and a more satisfying life. Expect an informal and safe environment to explore, grow, learn, and succeed!

The goal in therapy is to become the best version of yourself.

Our mind and body have a fascinating connection, and we would explore methods of healing from a number of techniques that pull from Western and Eastern medicine. Additionally, I am passionate about exploring and treating unique stressors associated with late-life to promote positive aging in our community.

With today's societal norms and stigmas, so many of us are hurt, misunderstood, rejected, outcasted, and isolated to the point that we often become hesitant to seek out help. Over 11 years of clinical experience and treating hundreds of diverse patients, I have learned as human beings we all want the same thing: to be seen, heard, supported, accepted, connected, appreciated, and loved. So here I am; ready, willing, and committed to breaking through barriers with you - by offering a listening ear for your story and a safe space where we can explore, freely and authentically, without bias and without judgment.

As a practitioner, I collaborate with my clients, providing an exceptionally non-judgmental and culturally sensitive environment. Meeting them where they are, I help navigate life’s roller coaster, empowering them to move forward.

Many of the clients I work with suffer from stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationships issues.

I also work with a lot of adults, taking a holistic approach to enhance ones social & emotional well-being; which combine to support the individual as a whole. I believe that when we focus on an individual as a full person, and not just a sum of their parts, we can reach them on every level.
