As a South Asian woman and child of immigrants, I understand what it means to exist in multiple worlds.
In individual, child, or family therapy with me, you’ll find compassion, steadiness, and a skosh of levity. My approach is relational and fluid, weaving in psychodynamic work, ACT, IFS, and CBT in ways that meet you where you are. I don’t treat your pain as separate from the world you’re living in, including how power and oppression may shape it.

Our world has become increasingly interconnected, yet ironically loneliness can still permeate even the most crowded rooms, leaving us feeling unseen, unheard, even alienated. In my experience working with a diverse population of individuals of all ages and backgrounds, I have found that sharing our stories in a safe, non-judgmental space not only brings relief and healing from the traumas of our past, but also helps us re-engage with the present and envision a hopeful future.

My work as a psychotherapist is grounded in trauma informed and culturally sensitive care. I integrate movement, mindfulness, and creative expression to help clients understand their experiences on both emotional and physical levels. This approach allows clients to access insight, regulate their nervous systems, and build a more compassionate relationship with themselves. I place great importance on the therapeutic relationship and see healing as something that grows through trust, collaboration, and shared presence.

As a South Asian therapist, I have extensive experience in working with clients of color and I am committed to providing a culturally attuned therapeutic space.
We each carry a unique and ever-evolving narrative that shapes how we connect with ourselves, with others, and with the world. Therapy can help us create meaning from those stories. Together, we will explore alternate narratives about your past and present relationships, experiences, and identities, drawing on untold or overlooked strengths and resources. My practice is grounded in relational psychodynamic therapy, with the understanding that growth happens within the context of supportive relationships. Our goal will be to integrate your past and present into a healthier and more affirming narrative.

My approach to therapy - A relationship built on trust and empathy is key to healing. I believe in providing a person-centered and non-judgmental therapeutic atmosphere that starts with building rapport. Many parts of our identity contribute to our perceptions and we’ll work together to identify those so you can have a personalized treatment. I believe in a culturally sensitive approach to both assessment and treatment is important.

If you’re someone who “has it together” on the outside but privately struggles with anxiety, perfectionism, or low self-esteem, I see you! Life can feel overwhelming sometimes, and masking can feel like the best way to deal with that. My approach can help you develop a new relationship with anxiety rather than avoiding or over-analyzing it. I specialize in anxiety, but I’m also passionate about helping women understand how their mental health and reproductive health journeys are intertwined. If you are struggling with peripartum depression/anxiety, PMDD, infertility, or perinatal loss, I may be a good fit for you.

Too often, our emotional reactions to oppressive systems are pathologized as something to “fix,” when really these systems were not made to support us. I believe in supporting you through feeling and exploring difficult emotions, unraveling harmful narratives, and introspecting with curiosity and tenderness.

I rely on principles derived from Buddhist, Stoic, Existential, Classical Indian, and Nietzschean philosophies.
All humans seek happiness and answers to the most personal and vexing questions of self-knowledge, happiness, love, the right way to live, and satisfying, meaningful relationships and work. At the heart of these quests lie enduring philosophical questions. As an APPA-certified Philosophical Counselor, I can help you find means of raising and answering these questions, through conversations and engaged dialogue. Philosophical reflection and study are tools I can share in this process, one I've been engaged in ever since I began the formal study of philosophy, and continued in my teaching, writing, and reflection.

South Asian Counseling
What can a South Asian therapist help with?
A South Asian therapist can help with the same concerns as any other therapist, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, stress, grief, and major life transitions. What may feel different, however, is the possibility of shared cultural understanding. If you identify with a South Asian background, such as Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan, or Nepali, working with a therapist who shares or understands aspects of your culture may help you feel more comfortable discussing topics such as family expectations, identity, religion, language, stigma, or intergenerational conflict.
How can a South Asian therapist support couples counseling or family therapy?
A South Asian therapist can support couples counseling or family therapy by helping partners and family members explore how cultural background can shape roles, responsibilities, and expectations in a relationship. In some South Asian families, relationship dynamics may be influenced by expectations around marriage, gender roles, caregiving, religion, family involvement, or balancing individual needs with family obligations. These issues can affect mental health as well as relationship boundaries, parenting, communication, and major life decisions. A South Asian therapist can help you navigate these conversations with greater cultural understanding.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience with South Asian clients?
If cultural background is important to you in therapy, it can be helpful to ask a prospective therapist whether they have experience working with South Asian clients or clients from your specific cultural background. In initial conversations with potential therapists, you might ask whether they have worked with concerns related to cultural identity, family expectations, intergenerational conflict, or stigma around mental health. You can also ask whether they provide therapy in your preferred language.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of South Asian therapists?
The directory of South 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 South Asian is limited, the directory will also show therapists with comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
