Megha Sundar
(She/Her/Hers)
Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT)
I promise to hold your stories with kindness and compassion.
I believe that we hold multiple identities and that they influence our interactions with the world. Some of my personal identities include being first generation Indian American, LGBTQIA+ affirming, progressive, BIPOC, anti-racist, spiritual, feminist, multilingual, family oriented, eldest child, music lover, surfer, traveler, dancer, and dog lover. Overall, I use a gentle, safe, and curious approach. I understand how scary and challenging life can be. I promise to hold your stories with kindness and compassion. I believe that you are the expert of your own life and have the power to enact the change you wish to see. My role as a therapist is not to provide you with “expert knowledge” but to ask questions in a way that invites deeper reflection on the stories of your life. Sometimes the messages we receive from society affect the stories we tell ourselves and steal the control we have over our lives. My hope is that we can work together to shift these narratives and regain power and agency over these stories.
