I work with adults (18+) seeking a compassionate space to explore thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Whatever brings you to therapy, you deserve a safe, non-judgmental space to witness your truth. It’s common to question whether you’re “justified” in seeking help, but sometimes simply having someone present can create the clarity needed to examine your thoughts and emotions. Therapy is an opportunity to study what arises in the moment and make intentional choices about how to move forward. Together, we’ll explore patterns and help you create healthier ways of navigating life’s challenges.

My therapy approach is client-centered and experiential. I focus on understanding your unique narrative and creating a space to explore patterns that influence your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together, we’ll identify and work through emotions and beliefs that may keep you stuck, helping you make conscious changes and move forward.

As a first-generation South Asian woman, I’ve navigated the complexities of cultural and gender identity, and I understand how challenging it can be to feel disconnected or held back. Through our work together, we’ll examine how these experiences impact you and work toward breaking free from patterns that no longer serve you.
