HOW I WORK

 

Rooted in Compassion, Guided by Insight

I believe we all carry the capacity to heal—but when anxiety, fear, or loneliness threaten our sense of safety, that healing can feel out of reach. Maybe you’re navigating the weight of emotional disconnection, hiding parts of yourself for fear of rejection, or struggling to understand big emotions alone.
As your therapist, I’ll be right beside you—working together to understand and move through these challenges with care.

 

Culturally Responsive & Identity-Informed

As a South Asian child of immigrant parents, I understand the complexities of straddling cultures. I know how isolating it can be to feel misunderstood in therapeutic spaces. I approach our work through a culturally responsive lens, committed to learning the nuances of your story, your community, and what shaped you.

 

Blending Depth with Tangible Tools

My work is both relational and holistic—grounded in psychodynamic exploration and present-moment practices. We’ll explore where your pain began and build tools to anchor you in the now. With training in  polyvagal theory, EMDR, ACT and CBT, I’ll help you understand how your body, thoughts, and emotions interact—so you can move toward greater ease and self-trust.

 

You Deserve a Life That Feels Like Yours

You don’t have to do this alone. I bring both my clinical experience and my humanity into session, holding space for grief, growth, and everything in between. Together, we’ll work toward shifting your story from one of survival to one of empowerment.
