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.

My practice focuses on helping individuals work through the self-defeating patterns that have created feelings of depression, anxiety and/or a general sense of feeling "stuck."

My therapeutic approach is to meet you where you’re at, work together to determine what best meets your needs, and to collaboratively create a plan that helps you achieve your goals. Growing up in a country where mental health was a developing field, I saw the first-hand effects of an overlooked self. I consider it a privilege to assist you in your reconnection to mind, body, and soul—one therapy session at a time.

Do you feel consumed with thoughts about food, weight, or body image? Does your relationship with these things impact your mood, self-esteem, relationships, or ability to function? If you answered yes to any of these questions, know that healing is possible. You are not alone in navigating these experiences.

Reaching out for help can be very hard. You are coming to therapy for personal reasons, some of which may be uncomfortable to talk about. You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, lack of confidence, coping with past traumas, having difficulty with work, or are simply feeling stuck. We understand that life can be overwhelming, even under the best of circumstances. We work with adults of all ages, children, and couples, to help them gain a better understanding of their feelings, relationships and inner-conflicts.

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.

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.

Psychotherapy provides a unique space through which a new relationship with oneself and others can be forged. Change in patterns of feeling and relating can be achieved through a process of exploration of and reflection on one's deeply held beliefs, convictions, and values, and past and present experiences. My approach is collaborative and informed by psychodynamic perspectives. I strive to facilitate meaning, understanding, and empowerment through close attention to the details of one's internal life and external context. Many of the individuals I work with enter psychotherapy to work through depression and anxiety related to struggles with identity, relationships, loss, trauma, and migration.
