I believe we all have an innate capacity for healing. However, chronic experiences of anxiety, fear, & loneliness can threaten our sense of safety & impede our ability to heal. This may make managing big emotions alone feel daunting, especially if our past experiences have discouraged us from doing so. As your therapist, I will support you in navigating these changing tides. Together, we will confront and understand these wounds and sore spots, creating a safe, & supported space to explore your feelings & experiences, fostering growth & resilience. I will walk with you, side-by-side, until you are ready to run on your own.
As a South Asian child of immigrant parents, I am familiar with the unique mental health needs within our community. The fear & exhaustion of being misunderstood in therapy is common for those with minority identities. I commit to working through a culturally responsive lens, prioritizing an understanding of your lived experiences and their complexities.
I utilize psychodynamic talk therapy to explore the origins of your pain & ask, "What has shaped us into who we are today?" With tools from polyvagal theory, CBT, & EMDR, we will tackle life's challenges & transform your story from hopelessness to empowerment. Together, we will create lasting change & rediscover your strength. Take the first step today.

I use a relational approach to build our therapeutic alliance and rapport, we do this with humor, compassion & curiosity. I then utilize somatic skill building to help you grow your somatic wisdom so we can tackle cognitive hurdles that you may encounter. We then utilize CBT skills coupled with our somatic foundation to truly help "rewire" your brain and re-write your internal narrative.
