You've mastered showing up for everyone else — your career, your team, your family — but somewhere along the way, you stopped showing up for yourself. Maybe you're exhausted in a way that a good night's sleep doesn't fix. Maybe you're successful by every outside measure, yet still feel like something's missing. If that sounds familiar, you're in the right place. I specialize in working with adults — particularly high-achieving women of color — who are navigating burnout, work/life balance, life transitions, and the complicated dynamics that come with family relationships. Many of my clients are accomplished, driven people who never

Do you miss feeling comfortable in your own body?
Maybe your clothes don’t fit like they used to, your energy is low, and you feel frustrated every time you look in the mirror. You’ve tried to make changes like diets, exercise, starting fresh on Monday but nothing seems to stick. It’s not just about the weight. It’s the emotional weight too. The guilt, the shame, the stress eating, the cycle of “why can’t I just get it together?”

What can a South Asian therapist help with?
A South Asian therapist can help with the same concerns as any other therapist, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, stress, grief, and major life transitions. What may feel different, however, is the possibility of shared cultural understanding. If you identify with a South Asian background, such as Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan, or Nepali, working with a therapist who shares or understands aspects of your culture may help you feel more comfortable discussing topics such as family expectations, identity, religion, language, stigma, or intergenerational conflict.
How can a South Asian therapist support couples counseling or family therapy?
A South Asian therapist can support couples counseling or family therapy by helping partners and family members explore how cultural background can shape roles, responsibilities, and expectations in a relationship. In some South Asian families, relationship dynamics may be influenced by expectations around marriage, gender roles, caregiving, religion, family involvement, or balancing individual needs with family obligations. These issues can affect mental health as well as relationship boundaries, parenting, communication, and major life decisions. A South Asian therapist can help you navigate these conversations with greater cultural understanding.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience with South Asian clients?
If cultural background is important to you in therapy, it can be helpful to ask a prospective therapist whether they have experience working with South Asian clients or clients from your specific cultural background. In initial conversations with potential therapists, you might ask whether they have worked with concerns related to cultural identity, family expectations, intergenerational conflict, or stigma around mental health. You can also ask whether they provide therapy in your preferred language.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of South Asian therapists?
The directory of South Asian therapists includes professionals who have shared their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason; also, when the number of therapists identified as South Asian is limited, the directory will also show therapists with comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
