About My Clients

I specialize in working with young adults navigating anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, and personal growth. I also work closely with couples, focusing on communication, conflict resolution, intimacy, friendship, and trust. I explore topics such as trust, communication, friendship, intimacy, work/money, family, and other foundational issues when working with pre-marital couples.

My Background and Approach

I attended Pepperdine University, graduating with my M.A. in Clinical Psychology with an Emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy. Through my experiences and training, I am passionate about working with young adults, couples, and South Asian individuals. I believe in collaborating with my clients to create a treatment approach tailored to you and your needs. I aim to provide a warm, safe environment and therapeutic relationship that fosters trust, respect, and growth.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a South Asian individual and therapist, I recognize the importance of being culturally sensitive and curious. In a world marked by diversity, acknowledging and respecting cultural nuances is paramount in ensuring my clients feel seen, heard, and validated in their experiences. As a therapist, I believe in exploring the complexities of your background and how it has impacted and can strengthen your mental health journey.
