I support individuals navigating relationship anxiety, communication struggles, boundaries, and the impact of culture, trauma, or identity on how we show up in connection. Whether you're unpacking patterns from your past or learning to relate more intentionally, we’ll explore how to build relationships that feel aligned, safe, and nourishing starting with your relationship to yourself.

I work with clients who feel caught between cultures, expectations, and their own values especially those navigating generational pressure, identity confusion, or belonging. As a South Asian therapist, I understand how acculturation stress and family dynamics can impact mental health. Together, we’ll explore your story and create space to define yourself on your own terms.

I offer an affirming space for LGBTQ+ clients exploring identity, coming out, relationships, and healing from invalidation or shame. I understand how queer and trans folks often face layered pressures, from family, culture, or systems and I work to create safety, celebration, and clarity as you make sense of who you are and what matters most to you.

CBT offers practical tools to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I use CBT to help clients challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, reduce anxiety, and build coping strategies. I also integrate cultural context and identity into this work, so the tools don’t just feel clinical, they feel real, usable, and grounded in your everyday life.

I help clients explore the stories they’ve internalized from family, culture, or society and how those stories shape identity, relationships, and self-worth. We work together to challenge problem-saturated narratives and create space for new ones rooted in values, agency, and meaning. This approach is especially powerful for those navigating cultural identity, trauma, and systemic pressure.

ACT helps us make space for difficult thoughts and emotions rather than fighting them. I use this approach to support clients in identifying their values, noticing unhelpful thought patterns, and committing to actions that align with the life they want. ACT is especially effective for anxiety, perfectionism, and life transitions, and I tailor it to each client's pace and lived experience.
