About My Clients

I work with adults (18+) navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, relationships, life transitions, chronic illness, and questions around identity and belonging. As a first-generation immigrant from South Asia, I value culturally responsive care and am fluent in Bengali and Hindi. If you're feeling overwhelmed or ready for support, I invite you to reach out. You don't have to navigate it alone.

My Background and Approach

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and rooted in compassion. I believes there isn't a one-size-fits-all path to healing, so she tailors each session to your unique needs, strengths, and goals. Drawing from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Compassion-Focused Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed care, she helps clients build practical skills while creating space for meaningful growth and healing.
