Living is complex, and we can find ourselves caught in patterns of overwhelm, stuckness, shutdown, or disconnection from ourselves and those we love. We may be navigating stress, trauma (personal or intergenerational), chronic illness, neurodivergence, parenting a neurodivergent child, or layered identities shaped by immigration, sexuality, and systemic oppression.
Whether feeling apprehensive, curious, or ready for support, we may long for a therapeutic space where the mind and body can soften—where we are met with compassion, witnessed without judgment, and supported in exploring change at our own pace.
My work integrates somatic awareness, the neurobiology of stress and trauma, and connection with nature to help the nervous system return to balance. Being a queer Indian immigrant gives me a unique perspective to support those exploring their identities. As a prior special educator, I support children, parents and educators navigating the education system.
I support you in reconnecting with the intelligence of your body, cultivating greater awareness, attunement, and resilience. My work is collaborative and compassionate, honoring your lived experience while supporting greater alignment within yourself and your life. I bring an intersectional, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed perspective to my work.
