Additionally, I am a yoga and mindfulness teacher (RYT 200) and integrate mind-body techniques into my practice.

I always gravitated to jobs that entailed helping people: Teacher; American Red Cross; Covenant House. I had also pursued seminary studies and was briefly on track to becoming a clergyman. Entry into grad school to study Counseling seemed the next natural step in my career path. But there was a more profound reason I became a Professional Helper, and that is my own lifelong struggles with anxiety and depression.

Are you tired of having to explain your lived experience or identity in therapy instead of getting to what you really wanted to talk about? Or when you finally get to it, you're met with assumptions about yourself and generic tools that don't quite fit. You don't have to settle for therapy that was not built for you.
I bring cultural humility and understanding into my sessions so you can bring your authentic self to the therapy room. My clients are often South Asian, BIPOC, and/or LGBTQIA+ adults trying to balance real life stressors while navigating unique pressures from societal expectations.

I work with highly sensitive, self-aware adults who are high functioning but feel stuck in the same relational patterns. Many have experienced relational trauma (family trauma, narcissistic abuse, or intimate partner violence) and learned to stay safe by over-functioning, over-adapting, or disconnecting from themselves.
My primary offering is Connected Within, a group psychotherapy experience where insight becomes action. The group acts as a therapeutic social microcosm, allowing you to practice new ways of relating with other group members with support, structure, and intention.
