Great to meet you!

As a south Asian American therapist I understand how family expectations, cultural values, and generational dynamics can shape emotional experiences and identity. I approach therapy with curiosity and empathy, and I’m committed to meeting clients where they are while honoring both their personal goals and cultural context.

My approach to therapy

My approach is grounded in a person centered framework, meaning our work together is built on empathy, respect, and genuine understanding. I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to help you better understand your thoughts, challenge patterns that no longer serve you, and build tools for coping and change. I tailor my approach and sessions to fit your needs. Your desired accomplishments are the number one priority of my sessions.

What you can expect from me

My aim is to provide a supportive non judgmental space and create a collaborative alliance to help deal with difficult emotions, experiences, relationships you might be facing. I am here to help you navigate the issue bringing you to therapy, and to give you tools and increased self awareness so that you can navigate any potential issues that might arise after our sessions together. I look forward to working with you.
