Meritain Health Therapists in Brooklyn, NY
As a South Asian woman and child of immigrants, I understand what it means to exist in multiple worlds. You might be an adult caught in perfectionism, spiraling thoughts, or the pull of other people's expectations. Or you may be a child or teen carrying emotions that are bigger than words. Here with me, you’ll have space to speak in full color and move toward more at-homeness in your body and relationships. Whether you’re feeling torn between cultures, navigating queer identity, or holding more than anyone sees, we’ll face what’s hard together while gently tending to your mind, body, and heart.

Your story matters, and therapy is where we uncover it- how your past has shaped you, the patterns you carry, and the life you want to create moving forward. My approach often resonates with people-pleasers, anxious over-thinkers, perfectionists, and children of emotionally immature parents, who are ready to reclaim their voice. I specialize in navigating anxiety, attachment wounds, unresolved trauma, grief, OCD, and relationship challenges. As a therapist, I will walk alongside you with curiosity and compassion, helping you learn how to regulate emotions, gain insight, and feel grounded.

So many people spend their lives trying to keep up, hold it all together, and be everything for everyone else while quietly feeling overwhelmed or emotionally exhausted underneath. On the outside, you may seem like you are doing okay. Underneath, you may be overthinking everything or carrying too much on your own. I work with children, teens, college students, and young adults navigating anxiety, relationship stress, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. Our work starts right there, in the real, messy moments where life feels like a lot or you simply want a space to exhale, slow down, and reconnect with yourself.

I believe that people come to therapy because they want to change their life for the better . With the current stressors in life that we are all facing I believe that the root causes of difficulty are developmental or situational, circumstantial, or sometimes trauma based. I work with individuals to lighten sadness, grief or anxiety, or to gain a greater understanding of one's self in a non-judgemental, safe space.

When life feels stressful or uncertain, relationships strained, or emotions heightened, we often slip into autopilot. Under pressure, old patterns like anxiety, self-criticism, anger, or shutdown can take over, pulling us away from our values, the life we want to live, and the people we care about most. While anxiety, conflict, and the challenges of ADHD can be painful, they may also be invitations to discover, or rediscover, other ways of being and relating. Therapy is a space to become more curious and connected to ourselves and others, and more grounded and intentional in how we move through the world.
