I blend depth-oriented, Jungian, psychodynamic, existential, behavioral, mindfulness, and trauma-focused approaches.
You’re likely the "strong one": Successful, self-aware, yet exhausted by a heavy inner world. Outside, you have it together. Inside, you’re unraveling, second-guessing yourself, and carrying the weight of it all. You crave closeness but fear the outcome or strings attached. You’re tired of repeating patterns that leave you lonely or ashamed. More than just "coping," you want to understand your inner world, feel like your needs matter, and live a life that is truly yours. You seek a space where you don't have to be perfect, where you can move past survival and remember who you were before the world told you to be someone else.

Are you 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 or justify why cultural expectations feel crushing while your neurodivergent brain works differently.

Something keeps pulling you back into the same painful patterns, in your relationships, your family, maybe even with yourself. You are tired of repeating the cycle, and you are ready to finally understand why. You are someone who wants deep, meaningful connection, but still finds yourself stuck in miscommunication, conflict, or emotional distance. You are ready to stop surviving and start truly relating. You are ready to build the partnership, family dynamic, or sense of self you have always wanted. Most of all, you are ready to break patterns that no longer serve you, for good. I want to help you get there.

From the outside, your life looks put together. Careers are steady, responsibilities handled, and everything seems “fine.” But at home, conversations feel tense, disagreements repeat, and one person often feels unheard while the other feels criticized or shut down. Whether it’s between partners or within your family, the emotional distance grows — even though everyone is trying and genuinely cares. Many high-functioning couples and families I work with experience this hidden stress daily, feeling like connection is slipping despite their best efforts.

Problems can become entangled, which makes them really hard to manage and resolve. And when we take notice, we see how so many aspects and relationships in our lives are affected. I want to learn who you are, listen to your story, and understand what you need from this process. Gaining insight and learning effective skills can help you handle almost anything life throws at you.

Each person is unique and so is what they come in with. Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all process. In fact, I pull from different treatment protocols to find what best fits you. This isn't a place where I tell you what to do or give advice, but a place where I join in with you in your process and we collaborate together to meet your needs. My goal is for therapy to be as efficient as possible, working through what we need to each session and maximizing a felt connection by undoing aloneness.

You thought you’d have a better grasp on life by now, right? If you’re honest, you’ve grown weary of the merry-go-round of trying & failing to the point that you’ve started recycling those same strategies to no avail. Maybe you’re finally ready to admit that your ability to navigate relationships hasn’t improved despite your efforts & communicating simply feels like standing in the middle of a minefield. It doesn’t have to be this hard-I can me help! Trauma impedes our ability to accurately filter what we see, hear & experience in life, therefore, inhibiting our ability to function optimally, especially in relationships.

In my work with clients I prefer to maintain a holistic focus on the individual. No matter what you are struggling with I find it hard to imagine that there is only one way of looking at it to understand the problem. My goal in therapy is to have my clients walk away from session with new insights and goals that allow them to orient towards creating change. Knowing what it is that you want out of life can be incredibly powerful, and therapy can be a great opportunity for growth.

I am certified in dialectical behavior (DBT), and have training in psychodynamic, and cognitive behavioral (CBT) modalities to help us reach your goals.

With individuals, I use psychodynamic approach, EMDR, and trauma informed therapy to work with trauma, shame, and identity struggles.
I work with men, women, and couples who are stuck in painful patterns such as porn, infidelity, emotional shutdowns, or deep shame that started long before adulthood. Many clients come to me after years of carrying relationship wounds, sexual trauma, or never feeling “good enough.” I specialize in helping men reclaim emotional access, couples rebuild trust after betrayal, and women heal from narcissistic abuse and low self-worth. Therapy here is deep, focused, and not about quick fixes.

Is psychodynamic therapy evidence-based?
Studies have found psychodynamic therapy to be effective in treating conditions like social anxiety, eating disorders, chronic pain, some personality disorders, and depression; indeed, some studies have found it to be just as effective as CBT or medication. What’s more, several studies have found that the benefits of psychodynamic therapy tend to endure—even grow—long after treatment has ended.
How long does psychodynamic therapy last?
Unlike CBT and other more structured forms of therapy, psychodynamic therapy tends to be open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a year or longer and to see their therapist one to three times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a client’s challenges and progress. However, brief psychodynamic therapy is available, which tends to be more goal-oriented and typically unfolds over 16 to 30 sessions.
Does psychodynamic therapy work?
Research finds that psychodynamic therapy can help someone manage or reduce symptoms of diagnosable mental health conditions like depression or anxiety. The modality may also offer a range of benefits that are harder to measure but just as valuable—such as increased self-worth or healthier relationships. While no therapy type will work for everyone, research and anecdotal evidence suggest that psychodynamic therapy can be highly effective.
What are the limitations of psychodynamic therapy?
Some meta-analyses have concluded that there is little evidence to suggest that psychodynamic therapy can effectively treat certain mental health conditions such as PTSD, OCD, or psychosis, though it is sometimes used to do so. More broadly, the open-ended, free-association structure of psychodynamic therapy may be frustrating for clients who prefer a more structured, time-limited, or goal-oriented approach.
