Navigating this thing called “life” can be hard and sometimes you just need a little extra support. If you struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, life changes, and interpersonal issues, I may be the right therapist for you.

I use a variety of therapeutic modalities depending on each client’s unique goals, including but not limited to CBT, DBT, and humanistic approaches. As an EMDR therapist, I also work with clients who want to overcome trauma.

I am a compassionate and friendly therapist who loves using humor (when appropriate) in therapy. I enjoy working with teens and adults, as well as the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities. I am a South Asian therapist who connects strongly with clients of similar cultural backgrounds.
