About My Clients
I have a special connection to working with children of immigrants, members of the South Asian and queer communities, and people navigating identity questions. At the same time, my practice is open to all, and I work with individuals from diverse backgrounds who are experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, or a desire to better understand themselves.
My Background and Approach
I have been intensively trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) by Dr. Charlie Swenson and in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy - Prolonged Exposure (DBT-PE) for trauma by Dr. Melanie Harned. I have additional trainings in Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My clinical style is warm and direct, yet grounded in compassion. I balance an exploration of the present with an understanding of the past, helping clients untangle what no longer serves them while building tools for the life they want to create now. I especially love helping people think about themselves in new ways, with less judgment and greater kindness. Clients often leave sessions feeling both seen and motivated, with emotions that feel more manageable and perspectives that feel more open.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I work with individuals and couples navigating complex emotions, difficult histories, and life stressors. I was drawn to this work out of a deep commitment to supporting people who often feel misunderstood, including those living with trauma, borderline personality disorder, suicidal thoughts, and addiction. I believe that even the most stigmatized symptoms are rooted in profound pain and sadness, and that no one should have to face that alone. I have volunteered with suicide prevention hotlines and find special joy in working with South Asian clients and members of the queer community.
