"To care for another individual means to know and to experience the other as fully as possible." - Irvin D. Yalom, M.D.

As a South Asian therapist, I understand the intricate meanings tied to being an immigrant and a woman of color. I believe that every person's lived experiences uniquely shape their life and perceptions, which is why finding congruence and meaning in one’s life is important. As a therapist, I understand that building trust and rapport are critical for effective progress and meaningful change. In my practice, I utilize an integrative approach that blends systems, humanistic, and multicultural frameworks. My goal is to empower you to achieve your personal and psychological goals while providing a safe, non-judgmental, and culturally sensitive space where you can explore your inner self. I am committed to creating an environment where you can feel at ease, be your authentic self, and build a trusting relationship with me. Together, we'll work collaboratively to build insight, draw on your strengths, process difficult emotions and experiences, and form a meaningful narrative for your life. With an empathetic and compassionate approach, I strive to create a therapeutic environment where you feel supported and empowered. I look forward to accompanying you on your journey to well-being.
