Great to meet you!

So you’re looking for a therapist! Maybe you have been stuck in a constant state of fear or worry. Maybe you have been battling racing thoughts, difficulty sleeping, or struggling to concentrate? There is no better time to take back control than right now. I will provide you with strategies to help you begin seeing the changes you desire in a safe, nonjudgmental environment. I strive to make therapy a collaborative experience that helps empower you to see the courage you hold within you.

My approach to therapy

While I work with clients of all ages and backgrounds, my specialties lie in working with women in their 20s and 30s that may be experiencing anxiety, processing past trauma, or managing the many stressors and transitions that can be thrown at you around that time in your life. As a South Asian therapist, I take pride in providing culturally competent care.

What you can expect from me

I am committed to providing you with individualized services that will be most beneficial to you in reaching your therapeutic goals. In our initial sessions, we will delve into your current concerns and goals in therapy. We will work together to design a plan specifically for you to achieve these goals in small, manageable steps. Contact me today for more information or to schedule your first session! I would be privileged to join you in this journey for growth and change.
