Sikh Therapists in Chicago, IL
To me, therapy is about seeking wholeness; it is a journey of more fully integrating our minds, bodies, & souls. Many of us live trapped in patterns & scripts that weigh us down & that keep us from living full, authentic lives. As a trauma therapist (& former spiritual director), I take into consideration the whole person, noting that past or ongoing traumas, wounds, & injustices shape the way we understand and engage with ourselves and the world. I help clients draw connections between formative past experiences & current ones in order to identify & shift those relational patterns & ongoing struggles.

Hello! Welcome! I'm passionate about working with BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) clients coping with life transitions, trauma (individual, historical, intergenerational), cultural identity, mood disorders, and addiction.

We all live in this fast-paced environment where we are always on the go. I understand the need to get things done in a timely manner but in these times, our mental health tends to be on the back burner.

Taking that first step will help make meaningful changes in your everyday life so you can live a happier & enriched life. As your therapist, I will be working with you to understand what has led you to this point & to find effective solutions to maintain your therapeutic goals.

Life is a heroic endeavor with many obstacles along the way. Each of us experiences and responds to events in our lives using various coping behaviors; including activities that make us feel better and activities that make us feel worse. All of our behaviors develop because they were successful at keeping us alive through our experiences. Problems may arise when we continue using these safety behaviors—which are often developed during our childhood—throughout later phases of our life. These survival skills may have worked in the past, but now they are leading to problematic outcomes.

You've busted your ass to achieve the American Dream, and are wondering when you'll finally start feeling comfortable or content. You've done everything you could to embody the Model Minority myth, and feel hollow inside. You've checked all the boxes... or maybe a couple are left, holding you back from experiencing acceptance and respect from those you value most. Hiding behind your well-cultivated mask may be feelings of disillusionment, discontentment, or disconnection. Perhaps your mask is also hiding feelings of despair, shame, or guilt. Looking to experience life more true to you and in line with your values?

What would you give to be mentally and emotionally resilient? Can you imagine surfing through life's challenges rather than being pummeled by them? I have been a practicing LCSW for 33 years. I've helped people of all ages struggling with emotional regulation, the management of symptoms of depression or anxiety, stress, life transitions, anger management, parenting, and burnout to become the best versions of themselves. Together, we would focus on what is helpful and let go of judging what is right or wrong.

I am a licensed psychologist in New York and New Jersey, offering virtual therapy across the U.S., with a practice grounded in diversity, inclusivity, and expertise in existential and spiritual concerns.
Healing isn’t about just coping. It's about rediscovering yourself. During life’s pain, we long for more than survival. We crave connection and a safe space to make sense of it all. I believe healing happens through authentic, collaborative relationships—the kind where you’re seen, understood, and invited to explore both joy and pain. It would be a privilege to discover a way forward that makes room for both hope and love.
