I am of South Asian descent and open to clients of all backgrounds. However, I know there is a great need for therapy in South Asian communities. I grew up witnessing how harmful stigma can be surrounding mental health. I am an avid believer that everyone is entitled to therapy. We can work together in your journey of healing! You do not have to suffer alone nor feel shameful about it. I strive to create a space that is warm and inviting.
I am dual licensed in New York and Maryland. I specialize in trauma, grief, women's issues, faith based concerns, and mental health disorders(anxiety, depression). I utilize different therapeutic interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, strengths-based approach, trauma Informed therapy, and person-centered therapy.
If you are an adult, couple, or family in need of therapy please feel free to contact me. Email is preferred! Let's cultivate what is already in you and bring forth healing.
