For many people, having a therapist who may look like them, shares a similar culture or community as them, and/or understands the complexities of juggling the Eastern vs Western cultures are vital for the success of their therapeutic journeys. That's where I come in. For the majority of my time in this field, I've been a therapist to folks from within the BIPOC & South Asian diaspora, to immigrants & children of immigrants, and to survivors of gender-based violence & trauma. My expertise in providing culturally aware services and a safe space for complex histories can support you in reaching your most authentic and well self.
I believe in an eclectic approach, pulling from various modalities, such as psychodynamic, motivational interviewing, CBT, and DBT- just to name a few. I prefer to work from a person-centered and trauma-focused lens. Ultimately, my goal is to work WITH you in reaching your most authentic and fulfilled self, so you can BE your most optimal self.
I believe therapy is most successful when it's collaborative, comfortable, & nonjudgmental, with opportunities for insight and self-reflection. Remember: You are the expert in all things related to you. Therefore, if you choose to work with me, my role is to support, gently challenge, and empower you to achieve what you need from the therapeutic experience.
