As a South Asian woman and immigrant, I deeply understand the complexities of navigating multiple, often conflicting, identities and the longing to find spaces where one’s whole story can be seen, held, and honored. I am committed to creating a therapeutic space rooted in warmth, curiosity, and authenticity—one that is inclusive and culturally affirming—where you can lay down the expectations, roles, and survival strategies you’ve carried and begin to meet yourself with honesty, gentleness, and care.
My clinical approach is trauma-informed, relational, and skill-based, drawing from psychodynamic theory, emotionally focused therapy, and attachment-based frameworks. I view relationships, both past and present, as powerful forces that shape how we move through the world, and I believe that healing happens through connection. I often incorporate somatic awareness, attending to how emotions and trauma live within the body, and integrate Narrative Therapy to support clients in reclaiming their stories from the grip of external expectations and systemic oppression. Alongside insight-building, I place a strong emphasis on skill-building—helping you develop practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, boundary-setting, and navigating relational challenges.
I have experience working with survivors of trauma and abuse, immigrants, and BIPOC communities, as well as individuals navigating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, relational concerns, substance use, and life transitions. I’m especially drawn to supporting those unpacking the emotional and psychological effects of intergenerational trauma and internalized cultural or familial narratives—and how those experiences impact self-esteem and self-image.
Above all, I believe that therapy is a collaborative process. I view the therapeutic relationship as the heart of my work and invest in building spaces of warmth, compassion, and trust at a pace that feels safe for you. Through our co-created relationship, we can reflect on relational patterns, deconstruct unhelpful narratives, and cultivate new, compassionate ways of being with yourself and others.
I hope to share my belief in resilience, growth, and embodied healing with every person I work with—honoring the full complexity of who you are and walking alongside you as you navigate life’s challenges and rediscover what it means to feel at home within yourself.
Together, we can create a space to:
- Deconstruct unhelpful narratives that keep you stuck
- Validate your lived experiences
- Find clarity in what matters to you
- Confront difficult feelings like shame, guilt, or anxiety
- Interrupt obsessive rumination and patterns of avoidance
- Increase self-compassion and self-acceptance
- Understand your attachment wounds and relational dynamics
- Build adaptive coping, emotion regulation, and boundary-setting skills
- Form routines, set goals, and nurture agency
- Honor cultural values and practices that hold meaning for you
