About My Clients

At times, Life defies our hopes and expectations. Sometimes, things we expect to happen, don't- or perhaps Life just didn't go as planned. If you are struggling to find peace and balance at work, in relationships, or if you are feeling lost in your spiritual life, please know that you do not need to untangle this alone. It is possible to improve your self-esteem, make sense of your experiences, and learn helpful strategies to assist you during times of stress. Small changes lead to big changes.

My Background and Approach

Just as a caterpillar finds it's way to become the butterfly it was always meant to be, you too can find and become yourself. I'm a woman from a minority background, and as such, in my therapy practice, my style is gentle, compassionate, and culturally-informed. My aim is to foster a sense of safety and trust that allows you to grow into the person you are.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

"Everyone has a story to tell" Frank McCourt. Without knowing where someone is coming from it is easy to judge them or get upset at them, but with learning their stories we can create empathy for them. It is through stories and writing that I was able to gain some catharsis and hope creativity is an outlet to help others express their emotions if they chose to. I participated as a speaker in Yoni Ki Baat (indian Vagina Monolgues). My first experiences with mental health was volunteering in a youth suicide hotline.
