I am a warm, dynamic, holistic, insightful and collaborative clinician who brings a strengths based and relational approach to my work. I focus on ensuring how to teach and enhance a client’s personal voice in their own narrative. This helps a client to orient towards wellness. I come from a South Asian background and speak English, Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi and Spanish. I am also queer.
I prefer a holistic approach to therapy. Therapy is not a "one size fits all approach." Therefore, I have spent a lot of time learning different philosophies from various lens, Western and South Asian, to ensure my clients receive holistic trauma-informed care. This includes - somatic work, trauma processing, narrative therapy, inner child work, and cognitive behavioral therapy.
Our first session is really just to get to know each other - consider it a therapy "first date." Therapy will not work if you do not feel comfortable with your therapist. The goal is to make sure your needs are being met, so the first session is to see if we are a good match before moving toward. It is also helpful to discuss your treatment goals during the first session.
