I'm a biracial Asian-American woman passionate about racial and ethnic diversity, equity, and inclusion.
I support individual adults (18+) in addressing challenges, some of which include healing and wellness from depression, anxiety, trauma (generational/PTSD/racial), life transitions, stress, low self-esteem, and cultural and relationship challenges. In doing so, I utilize person-centered, strength-based, trauma-informed, and systemic approaches in therapy with specific techniques from ACT, narrative, DBT, CBT, and EMDR. Clients can expect unconditional care, a sense of authenticity, respect for their unique story, and yes, even a space for humor when participating in one of my sessions.

I am a Muslim, American, South Asian woman.
"I am not crazy," is the first thing many hear when thinking of mental health. Mental health is less about being crazy and more about over all well-being. Research shows that expressing ourselves can lead to positive change and better understanding of ourselves. During our journey together, I respect my clients by bringing in a culturally informed and non-judgmental lens, utilizing personal, religious/spiritual, and cultural strengths approach to healing. Together we will work on listening to our bodies and minds, integrating both for restoration and healing.

My personal and educational experiences as an Asian-American woman have shaped my values as a trauma-informed, anti-oppression, and social justice-oriented clinician.
I work with individuals who would like to dive deeper into understanding themselves and their relationships. It can be difficult to confront our fears and recognize our vulnerabilities. Why do we react anxiously, fearfully, or defensively in situations? Why do seemingly small tasks or annoyances provoke such strong reactions in us? Many times, emotions and behaviors which have served to protect us and ensure our survival in the past are no longer serving us in the present. These automatic responses are difficult to alter if we do not understand their origins and actively work to create new ways of relating to others.

Psychotherapy is the intricate healing process of restoring parts of ourselves that we are struggling with. While we humans cannot choose what happens to us or make everything “right” to us, we have the power to alter how suffering affects us.

Therapy is not one-size-fits-all, but rather it is shaped by your needs and life experiences. Starting therapy can be daunting but I am here to make it feel less intimidating.

I value showing up authentically and genuinely. I am human too, imperfections and all, and I seek to remind you that you are not alone.

I understand that during our life journey, we can experience mental, emotional, and relational distress. Sometimes we know what is causing it but don’t necessarily know what to do about it. At other times we don’t actually know what is causing the discomfort or pain and where it’s coming from, but we know we feel it. This is where therapy can be very helpful. I find it a privilege to walk alongside each of my clients as they explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences and the impact it's had on them and continues to.

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.
