Maybe you’re the person everyone depends on—the capable one, the good daughter, supportive partner, devoted mother, reliable friend. You’re used to holding a lot, but inside you may feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from yourself. I work with women navigating anxiety, relationships, boundaries, motherhood, cultural and family expectations, identity, and life transitions. Together, we’ll explore the patterns and expectations that have shaped you and help you reconnect with what you need and want—so you can create a life that feels more authentically yours.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that you are already whole. I draw from mindfulness, self-compassion, IFS, somatic work, CBT, and narrative therapy to help you understand the patterns shaping your life. As a first-generation South Asian woman and mother, I bring a culturally responsive, feminist lens to our work.
Therapy is a space to slow down, get curious, and make room for the parts of yourself that can get lost in the demands of everyday life. You don’t need to have it all figured out before you begin. Together, we can build greater self-trust, compassion, and freedom to create a life that feels meaningful, joyful, and genuinely yours.
