You're tired of explaining yourself. As a neurodivergent adult or someone from a South Asian background, you've spent too much energy trying to fit into spaces that weren't designed for you. Maybe you're managing ADHD or autism while navigating family expectations, or you're struggling with anxiety and depression while feeling culturally misunderstood. You want a therapist who truly gets the intersection of your identities—someone who doesn't need you to translate your experience. I'm also a Board-Certified Music Therapist, offering a unique blend of traditional therapy and creative, neurodivergent-affirming approaches.

I provide specialized care that honors both your cultural background and neurodivergent needs. My approach integrates CBT, DBT, Internal Family Systems, and music therapy techniques to help you build resilience, reduce overwhelm, and connect with your authentic self.

If you’re a BIPOC adult managing anxiety, depression, trauma, or neurodiversity challenges, you deserve compassionate care that honors your unique background. You deserve therapy that celebrates your whole identity, not just parts of it. Call today for your free 15-minute consultation—let's explore how we can work together.
