About My Clients
I am excited to work with people of color, immigrants, undocumented, or first or second generation individuals. I am looking forward to helping my clients navigate through the emotional heaviness that may have been created from their cultural upbringing, generational trauma and family dynamics. I have variety of experience with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, personality disorders, PTSD, LGBT+ issues, identity issues, self esteem issue, grief and relationship issues.
My Background and Approach
I draw from a client-centered and strength based approach, utilizing other modalities when necessary. I am trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy and Brainspotting Phase 1. I have experience utilizing CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma focused care. I understand that therapy is uncomfortable and it takes time to build trust with a therapist, so I value moving at the client's pace. My goal is to provide my clients with a non-judgmental, inclusive space with a sense of belonging. No issue is "too weird." I strive to create a space that is filled with empathy, understanding and empowerment, regardless of what brings an individual to therapy.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I find that much of our feelings and thoughts about ourselves and the world around us is shaped by our upbringing and experiences during earlier years of life. Fortunately, those experiences can be processed and worked through to relieve that weight these experiences may have created. As a therapist, I don't think any issue is too big, too small, or too weird! I understand the family dynamics, cultural differences and generational traumas, being a first generation South Asian myself. I feel that everyone is deserving of therapy and I assure you, I understand how daunting therapy can be, because I was once a new client myself! I'm passionate about the environment, human rights and animal rescue. I volunteer with an animal rescue and while I encourage therapy sessions to be done in a confidential, private place-- your pets are always welcome to join us!
