Registered Psychotherapist
EnglishHindiWelcome. I’m so glad you’re here, taking this step is an act of courage. In our work together, you’ll find a space where you can breathe, be seen, and be heard without judgment. You don’t have to carry it all alone anymore. Welcome. स्वागत है. You are safe to bring your whole self here, just as you are.
Background
As a South Asian therapist and coach, I know how important it is to feel understood, especially when navigating trauma, relationships, or identity. My 17+ years in corporate leadership and behavioral coaching taught me how people grow best when they feel safe, seen, and supported. Now, as a Psychotherapist, I bring that same balance of compassion and practicality to help you untangle old patterns, reclaim your voice, and move toward healing that feels true to you, that is grounded in cultural awareness, education, and personal resilience.
Your therapeutic experience with me
With me, you'll step into a space where you are truly seen and your story matters. Here, gentle guidance meets heartfelt listening, and practical strategies to implement. Together, we explore, untangle, and illuminate the patterns that hold you back, at a pace that feels safe and right for you. You’ll leave feeling understood, grounded, and empowered, ready to reclaim your voice, embrace your truth, and take courageous steps toward healing.
Areas of expertise
These are the areas I commonly work with, and they form a big part of the support I offer in my practice:
I also support you in these additional areas and welcome you to reach out if any of them speak to what you are going through:
Therapeutic approaches
These are the approaches at the heart of my work, and I use them often because they help create meaningful change:
Client-centered / Rogerian Therapy
A client-centered approach puts you at the heart of your healing, meaning you are seen, heard, and valued, guiding each session at your pace. Together, we uncover insights, build resilience, and empower you to reclaim your voice and live authentically.
Attachment Focused Therapy
Attachment-focused therapy helps you identify and transform patterns from past relationships, fostering secure bonds, emotional safety, and healthier connections that empower your life and growth. You learn to connect with yourself and others with trust, compassion, and confidence.
Mindfullness & Somatic Practices
Mindfulness and somatic practices help you reconnect with your body and mind, release tension, and stay present with your emotions. This fosters resilience, self-awareness, and a deeper sense of ease in daily life and a grounded sense of strength to move forward.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic therapy helps you uncover patterns from your past that shape your present. By exploring emotions, relationships, and unconscious drives, you gain insight, heal old wounds, and create lasting change with self-awareness and compassion.
I also draw on other evidence based approaches that can gently support you when they align with what you need:

Relational-cultural

Gottman Couples Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)
