You may be managing work and relationships while feeling exhausted by expectations, overwhelmed by everyday tasks, or unsure how to express what you need. You deserve therapy where you can feel understood and work toward changes that fit your life.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado offering compassionate, neurodiversity-affirming therapy. I especially enjoy supporting adults with ADHD and autism as they explore masking, burnout, sensory needs, boundaries, and relationships. Together, we can build practical strategies that work with your strengths and processing style.

I also support children, teens, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, and life transitions. My background in education, school counseling, and child welfare helps me understand how individual needs and family experiences shape one another.

I speak English, Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu, and welcome South Asian families, immigrant communities, and anyone navigating cultural or generational expectations.

My approach combines Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy. Sessions may include reflection, practical tools, or communication practice, with room for your preferences and pace. You don’t need to have everything figured out before we begin.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and tailored to you. I take time to understand your strengths, challenges, cultural background, and hopes for change. Together, we set realistic goals and find strategies that fit your everyday life.

I combine Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy to support clients navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, and relationship challenges. For younger clients, I incorporate play, art, and developmentally appropriate activities.

My work is neurodiversity-affirming. I offer psychoeducation about ADHD, autism, executive functioning, sensory needs, masking, and burnout to help you understand your experiences and advocate for support. We can adapt sessions to your communication preferences, energy, and processing pace.

Multicultural understanding also shapes my practice. We can explore how family expectations, immigration experiences, identity, and cultural beliefs influence mental health and help-seeking. I welcome these conversations without judgment and offer sessions in English, Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu.

Your first therapy session will be a welcoming conversation about what brings you in, what feels difficult, and what you hope will change. You don’t need to share your entire history or have clear goals yet.

I’ll ask about your daily life, strengths, supports, and past therapy experiences. Whether you’re seeking support for anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, or relationship concerns, we’ll begin identifying what would feel helpful. We’ll also review confidentiality and discuss any immediate safety concerns.

You can ask questions, take pauses, and share your communication or sensory preferences. For child or family therapy, I make space for each person’s perspective. Sessions are available in English, Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu.

By the end, we’ll have an initial direction for our work, and you’ll have a better sense of whether my approach feels right for you.
