I enjoy working with people who are ready to explore their mental health, whatever that may be. I have worked with clients of all ages with many different diagnoses: Anxiety, Depression, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, PTSD, etc. It takes a lot of bravery to begin therapy and I enjoy providing information and education, teaching coping skills, or just providing a space to talk and explore whatever struggle my client may be encountering. I am also passionate about working with children and helping them grow their understanding of themselves and help their families learn how to best support them.

The decision to seek therapy can be difficult; however, you are here and that's your first step. Do you find yourself struggling in relationships, dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, or trauma?

Life is full of experiences that catch us off guard, leaving us feeling fragile and vulnerable and full of emotions that are difficult to manage. Some of these events, such as pregnancy, parenthood, marriage, and new relationships often cause us to have juxtaposing emotions that can be challenging to navigate and contribute to feelings of isolation. As your therapist, I will walk beside you as you overcome life’s obstacles and help nurture any past wounds to help you live your best life. In addition to adults, I also love working with children from birth through adolescence.

I am client-focused when working with individuals and families, providing space for them to openly discuss the impact family building has had on their mental health. I encourage clients to actively participate in their treatment and collaboratively work with each client to identify their therapeutic goals. I use a mixture of modalities, from cognitive-behavioral techniques to holistic and integrative approaches. I always strive to bring culture and identity into the therapy space as I believe one’s lived experiences are often shaped by their personal identities.

I believe deeply in the potential for healing when people feel safe to be vulnerable in trusting relationships. I hope to collaborate with others to transform painful experiences into generative opportunities for growth so that we can create the lives we want to live. A queer South Asian American woman, I am attuned to the complexity of navigating differences in culture, race, gender, sexuality, religion, class, politics, and more in families and relationships. I utilize an intersectional feminist and anti-oppressive framework in my work with individuals and couples who are navigating conflict and seeking better self-understanding.

Are you stuck but trying to move forward after a break-up or divorce? Were you traumatized by deceit or even a double life and wondering if you can ever trust again? Or are you simply terrified seeing so many red flags and disingenuous individuals in the dating pool? No matter what your age or life stage, when a relationship ends whether by choice or by the actions of another, you may be caught off guard and thinking clearly can be difficult. You may experience self-doubt, insecurity, anxiety, and fear. It can be helpful to work together to regain confidence (in yourself and others).

I am currently accepting new clients! I believe that the therapeutic relationship is at the crux of change. Through this lens, I offer a safe, warm, and empathic space for clients to explore their inner world.

Past experiences or traumas, difficult relationships, and invalidating or oppressive environments can inform patterns that are limiting and painful. We can feel stuck and disconnected from who we are and what we care about. Although life has its inevitable difficulties and losses, it’s still possible to grow, create authentic relationships, and move towards our values without becoming overwhelmed. Affirming, compassionate therapy can support that process.

Establishing trust is essential for counseling and building a therapeutic relationship. At times during the building of this relationship, you may come to feel the most vulnerable. It will be at those times; you will have my undivided attention. Therapy allows individuals the ability to process through unexpected life circumstances as well as troubling event occurrence. At present, all appointments will be virtual. My office location has handicapped accessibility and I offer late evening as well as weekend availability for appointments.
