My approach to therapy is primarily relational and psychodynamic.
My approach to therapy begins with creating a safe and welcoming space in which I can get to know my clients as people. I work collaboratively with them to explore their challenges and difficulties, as well as their joys and successes. I believe that healing happens in supportive relationships. I enjoy building such connections with clients to support them working towards becoming the version of themselves they want to be.

My work is informed by psychodynamic theory, trauma-informed therapies, internal family systems, and body-based healing modalities.
As a queer mixed-race South Asian and white person, I have long understood identity to be political and relational. I approach my work as a therapist from this community justice perspective, where I understand both trauma and healing to be rooted in the context in which we live. Many of us get the message that healing is an individual journey, but healing is a process that is made possible by building loving connection with ourselves and others.

I work through a blend of psychodynamic, trauma-informed, and social justice lenses.
Therapy can free us from the patterns that keep us from experiencing the fullness of life. It can give us access to the wisdom and inner tools that help us live more authentically. Whether you struggle with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, chronic pain, matters of sexual or gender identity, or some other life transition, I prioritize creating a foundation of safety and trust. Together, we will help you to feel more freedom and connection in your life.

My approach combines relational, psychodynamic, and cognitive behavioral therapies to create a comprehensive treatment experience.
Trauma can take many forms, often leaving deep wounds that influence how we think, feel, and interact with the world. Each person's life experience is unique, influenced by their childhood, relationships, and personal circumstances. I specialize in supporting those who have experienced trauma, specifically complex trauma or those who have grown up in emotionally neglectful or immature environments. If you're struggling with perfectionism, feelings of shame, attachment-related concerns, or even challenges in setting healthy boundaries, I provide a space where you can be vulnerable and feel genuinely understood, validated, and heard.

I worked for 7 years in college counseling centers and hold certificates in psychodynamic psychotherapy, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, mindfulness-based therapeutic interventions and am am gaining certification in Somatic Experiencing interventions.
In life, it is not uncommon to find yourself stuck in patterns that no longer serve you but you are unsure of how to change. Perhaps at times you experience difficult emotions that you don't fully understand or know how to address. In my work as a psychotherapist, I provide a safe, collaborative environment in which clients can more freely get to know their emotional and physical states so that they may release distress and discover their more authentic self. I help clients to develop a more compassionate self-awareness and build greater flexibility in how they respond to the pressures and stressors of life.
