About My Clients

I work with individuals ages 18 and older from diverse backgrounds who are seeking healing from trauma, relationship or family-of-origin issues, life transitions, cultural identity concerns, anxiety, depression, and other difficult experiences. I am especially passionate about supporting members of the BIPOC, immigrant, neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ communities.

My Background and Approach

As a South Asian clinician and daughter of immigrants that was late diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood, I understand firsthand how cultural expectations, family dynamics, and your mental health can shape your lived experiences. My goal is to help you reconnect with your authentic self and develop the tools you need to heal and thrive by creating a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported. In our work together, you’ll find an empathetic, nonjudgmental space to explore challenges, process emotions, and experience genuine growth. My approach is integrative, multicultural, and trauma-informed, drawing primarily from person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, emotion focused, and somatic techniques. I am also trained in Brainspotting, an impactful method for treating trauma and emotional distress. Because every person is unique, I tailor my methods to meet each client’s individual needs and goals.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am the eldest daughter of immigrants and was raised in a small town in middle Tennessee for most of my childhood. I have always had a passion for mental health and social justice which eventually led to my career as a therapist. I take an acute interest in generational and complex trauma as well as boundary setting in collectivist family cultures. Like many other neurodivergent women and AFAB people, I was diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood. I continue to be interested in the lived experiences of, and new research regarding, neurodivergence in women and AFAB people. When I am not working, I love spending my time reading books, trying new foods, moving my body, and spending time with my friends and family.
