Do you ever feel 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. Starting therapy is a brave step toward living with purpose, peace, and authenticity. Whether you're navigating life transitions, seeking to deepen your sense of self, 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 intersectionality and work from a lens of social justice, equity, and feminism. Together, we’ll build resilience, self-awareness, and healthy coping strategies to help you thrive authentically.
My practice is founded on the belief that we are all fundamentally good inside. My goal is empower you to know that you have the tools to navigate life's inevitable challenges with strength, resilience, and JOY. I use a balance of warmth, mindfulness, empathy, and trust to create meaningful change and lasting empowerment.
