Therapy can and should be a transformative experience! I am a firm believer in the transformative power of therapy and am passionate about creating an empathetic, judgment-free space that allows my clients to build a sense of safety in both themselves and the world. As an LGBTQIA identified therapist and a nonbinary person of South Asian descent, I am passionate about providing mental health services to traditionally underserved populations, especially queer folks and people of color. My specialty is helping clients to heal, grow, and create the lives they want by using a compassionate, strengths-based approach to therapeutic work.
With over six years of experience providing mental health services to clients of a variety of backgrounds, I specialize in working with clients who may be dealing with acute symptoms of anxiety or depression, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, religious trauma, or life transitions.
If you're someone who feels unseen, unheard, or misunderstood and you're looking for a therapist who just "gets" you, then you're in the right place. Finding the right therapist can be a journey, and it would be an honor to be a part of yours. If you're feeling nervous or unsure that's ok! Whenever you're ready, I would love to meet you.

Religious deconversion, racial discrimination, and LGBTQIA identity are all a part of my own story, and helping others navigate and heal through such experiences is one of my favorite parts of being a therapist. Working with people with personality disorders, autism, and ADHD is also important to me because there is so much stigma surrounding these disorders.

I borrow ideas from Internal Family Systems (IFS) because it provides a useful framework for understanding how each of us is comprised of different parts with unique needs and experiences. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) also integrates well with my social justice oriented practice because there is so much about the world that is outside of our control, but we all deserve meaning and joy.
