“You cannot pour from an empty cup.” You have to take care of yourself before you take care of the rest of your world, and I am here to help you do that. I received my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. Mary’s University, in San Antonio, Texas, and decided to move back to Dallas to further my career. I believe it it’s important to work on educating members of the diversified communities of Dallas on the importance of taking care of their mind as well as their bodies.

I am currently an EMDR trained therapist who has experience working with trauma as well as unresolved emotional experiences. I also use solution-focused approaches, as well as cognitive approaches, to guide individuals to a better understanding of their own patterns of thinking. I currently work with individuals struggling with stress, trauma, PTSD, South Asian Cultural Stressors/Trauma, anxiety, mood disorders, relationship conflicts, life changes, and adolescents struggling with adjustment.

I want to work on guiding individuals to learn how to manage their daily life struggles, depression, stress, anxiety, loss, and adjustment. I myself have had to do a lot of self-exploration to find my place as a South Asian American and what that means to me; I want to be able to share and use my experience to help others as well.
