Great to meet you!

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in cultural diversity. I particularly enjoy working with folks of BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and Ethically Non-Monogamous (ENM) identities. (note: currently not available for couple/relationship therapy)

My approach to therapy

I use evidence-based techniques for all my clients, including cognitive challenging, mindfulness strategies, and emotional vocabulary-building. I also incorporate homework and mental exercises when my clients find it helpful.

In working with couples, I use techniques from the Gottman method to help improve communication, develop shared goals, and increase intimacy and positive time together.

What you can expect from me

As a South Asian multicultural therapist, I consider my clients to be experts on themselves and their own lived experiences. I want my clients to feel comfortable, heard, and empowered during therapy, which is why I welcome feedback and am happy to make accommodations when possible.
