About My Clients
I specialize in supporting eldest daughters—who are survivors of child sexual abuse and carry the heavy weight of shame, anxiety, depression, or suicidal thoughts while feeling trapped between cultural expectations and their pain. My clients often come to me exhausted from upholding an image of strength for their families while silently battling guilt, self-blame, or the fear that speaking their truth will shatter the fragile equilibrium around them.
My Background and Approach
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) specializing in trauma therapy for South Asian women, particularly eldest daughters and survivors of childhood sexual abuse. My background includes 7 years of clinical experience, with continuing education in trauma & dissociation. Having witnessed how cultural stigma silences pain, I’m passionate about creating a space where your story can be held without judgment—and where healing doesn’t require abandoning your roots. My approach is: Culturally grounded: I understand the pressures of family roles, honor, and the guilt that comes with prioritizing yourself. Trauma-informed: We’ll work at your pace to rebuild safety in your body, relationships, and sense of self. Empowerment-focused: Therapy isn’t just about “fixing” pain—it’s about reclaiming your voice, boundaries, and worth. You don’t have to choose one or the other.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My approach to therapy is collaborative & client-centered. I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences openly. Drawing from evidence-based practices such as mindfulness and CBT, I'm committed to transparency—not just in thought, but in dismantling the cognitive barriers between who you’re taught to be and who you truly are. I work with you to identify goals and build coping strategies while fostering this meaningful change. I integrate solution-focused, holistic techniques to help you develop self-awareness, resilience, and tools for navigating life’s challenges. Whether you're addressing anxiety, depression, grief, child sexual abuse, or personal growth, my focus is on empowering your transformation at your pace.
