Great to meet you!

I am licensed clinical social worker (PhD, LCSW) with over 21 years of experience supporting high-achieving adults through career transitions, ADHD, grief, trauma, and the complexity of living between cultures and identities. I bring both clinical depth and personal understanding to this work. I have navigated undiagnosed ADHD, significant life transitions, and the experience of building a life across different cultures and continents. I know this terrain from the inside, and that lived understanding shapes everything about how I work. I offer a space that is warm, non-judgmental, and genuinely collaborative where all parts of your story are welcome. I offer sessions in English, Hindi, Urdu and Punjabi.

My approach to therapy

My approach is integrative and trauma-informed. I work with both the mind and the body. Drawing on somatic and cognitive methods, I combine EMDR, somatic practices with psychodynamic, family systems and third wave therapies including ACT and DBT. I bridge Eastern and Western therapeutic traditions, working top-down through insight and meaning, and bottom-up through what the body holds. Sessions are collaborative and paced to you, tailored to your specific needs rather than a fixed protocol. For clients navigating expanded states of consciousness, I also offer psychedelic integration therapy.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is a conversation, not an assessment. I want to understand what's bringing you here, what you've tried before, and what feels most important to you right now. There is no pressure to share everything at once. We move at your pace. By the end of our first session you will have a clearer sense of how I work, whether we feel like a good fit, and what our work together might look like going forward. I also offer a free 15-minute consultation before booking, which is a low-pressure way to connect and ask any questions you might have. PLEASE REACH ME DIRECTLY AT [email protected] to schedule an initial consult.
