As a culturally attuned therapist with deep roots in South Asian identity, spirituality, and mindful healing, I support individuals and couples who are ready to slow down, tune in, and move forward with clarity and compassion.
In my practice, I work with those navigating cultural identity, perfectionism, intergenerational trauma, and spiritual disconnection—often within high-performing or caregiving roles. My clients are often the “strong ones” in their families or friend circles. Therapy with me is a space where you get to be seen and supported without having to explain.

I am also dedicated to addressing the unique needs and concerns of those who identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and people of color) and APIDA ( Asian Pacific Islander Desi American).
I mainly utilize a psychodynamic approach to understanding my clients. This means that treatment is not focused only on symptom relief; instead, my clients get the opportunity to unlock the deeper meanings and root causes for their problems. This leads to greater self-awareness, growth, and long-term change.

I also specialize in helping children/adults with navigating and balancing traditions and culture in the South Asian American/immigrant community.
I take a person-centered approach in that I provide an open, calm, and unbiased environment while I help my clients lead me in their own journey in understanding themselves and their relationship with others. As an art therapist, I provide my clients with a chance to be creative but also allow them to express themselves in a nonverbal manner.

I also facilitate an Asian mental health group.
No matter what has brought you to therapy, your experience is valid. I believe that even the most unlikeable, confusing, extreme parts of you have a wisdom to be understood, a protectiveness to be thanked, and a vulnerability to be seen and held. In my practice, I will seek to meet you exactly where you are, and together we can tend to the unique challenges in your life. My ultimate goal is for clients to uncover their essential self—to rediscover their own innate wisdom and strength that can face whatever life brings.

I'm also a Lotus Fund Therapist for those coming from the Asian Mental Health Collective.
Life can feel like a never-ending to-do list. Where’s the time for you? I help clients who struggle with perfectionism and people pleasing get to the root of their problems. This might come up in life as feeling guilty for saying “no”, feeling selfish for not always putting others first, or feeling “not good enough”. It's difficult to maintain the pressure that others put on you, let alone the pressure that you put on yourself. Is this what you imagined life to be? It's time to break the cycle.

I also offer premarital counseling and couples counseling if you'd like to take a temperature reading of the health of your relationship through Prepare/Enrich assessments.

I also work well with Asian-Americans and other racial minorities.
The first steps to a counseling session can be scary, but it is also a courageous act in understanding yourself and living a more engaging life. My philosophy in providing care has always been "helping others help themselves." I believe that each individual has the ability to change and grow in their journey. In sessions I provide a safe, compassionate, and collaborative space. I will also acknowledge that our world is vastly different and more chaotic than it was a few years ago - political discourse, racial injustice, climate change - and I will do my best to offer you some direction in these collective struggles.

While not exclusively the identities of the clients I work with, I specialize in working with Asian and Asian American clients, individuals with disabilities, autistic people, and trans and non-binary folks and I hope to work with you soon!
Understanding who you are or what you are feeling is difficult when you are not even sure what words to use to describe your experience or what questions to ask yourself. Naming that is a big step. You may put on a mask to navigate the world in order to reduce the pressures you feel from society. High expectations when you were younger may make mistakes seem unacceptable. The journey to explore who you are may seem lonely. You may notice similarities in the relationships you form now with the relationship you have with your family. The early traumas in your life may be triggering you now in ways that are frustrating and upsetting.

Grief, religion and spirituality, trauma, men and women's issues, transitions related to family life, self esteem, productivity and relationship challenges are my areas of practice. I use EMDR for trauma; attachment frameworks for relationship challenges; mindfulness approaches to manage impulses; distress tolerance to regulate mood; and cognitive frameworks to connect thoughts, feelings and behavior. In supporting men and women through young adulthood and middle age experiences, I consider how societal norms, human development, culture and identity affect cognitive, emotional, relational, behavioral, and mental well-being.

Asian Therapists
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
A culturally sensitive therapist would be respectful and considerate of different groups, with regard to race, sexual orientation, gender, and other factors that are important to an individual. These considerations can help a client feel understood as well as validated. While some people think highlighting race could promote stereotypes and bias, more understanding and knowledge about cultural differences is a positive for a healthy therapeutic alliance.
How can I recognize an effective Asian therapist?
You can discern a lot by asking how familiar the potential therapist is with different cultures, as well as asking how they might address issues related to identity, values, and beliefs. Also inquire about their education, as well as any particular training they may have completed, such as cultural sensitivity or diversity and inclusion programs.
What if the therapist does not have my exact background?
The therapist may not share a client’s exact background, but the therapist may have plenty of hands-on experience as well as the sensitivity needed for therapeutic progress. Their sensitivity to different populations will help the client feel accepted and comfortable in sharing their concerns and difficulties.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Asian clients?
A therapist with an Asian background may have experience within their community, as well as broader cultural sensitivity. Ask the potential therapist whether they've worked with individuals who share your background. If they have not worked with similar clients, they may well know someone who has such experience.
Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Asian therapists?
The directory of Asian therapists includes professionals who have shared their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason; also, when the number of therapists identified as Asian is limited, the directory will also show therapists with comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
