Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected? Life’s challenges—whether they involve anxiety, depression, or difficulty setting healthy boundaries—can feel heavy and isolating. You may also be navigating the added complexities of living in a world that doesn’t always understand or celebrate your identity. Therapy can feel daunting, but it’s also a bold step toward living with purpose, peace, and authenticity. Whether you're navigating life transitions, seeking to strengthen your identity, or learning to advocate for yourself, we’ll work together to create a life that truly feels like yours.
My identity as a woman, mother, first-generation South Asian immigrant, and mindfulness educator informs my practice. I understand the unique challenges of navigating diverse identities and am committed to social justice, equity, and feminism. Together, we’ll build resilience, self-awareness, and healthy coping strategies to help you thrive authentically.
I offer a safe, compassionate space to explore your inner world and reach your goals. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationships, I’m here to support your healing and growth. With a focus on resilience, self-awareness, and healthy boundaries, let’s work together to create meaningful change and lasting empowerment.

In my practice, I thoughtfully integrate mindfulness and self-compassion along with somatic interventions and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques. With empathy and understanding, I embrace Internal Family Systems (IFS), viewing the mind as a family with different parts. Together, we explore and nurture these parts, guiding you towards a deeper sense of inner peace and balance.
