Introduction

I am here to support you on your path to healing and growth. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Psychology, with a specialization in Trauma and Spiritual/Depth Psychology. But beyond my credentials, what truly shapes my approach is my lived experience. As a South Asian American immigrant who was born and raised across five countries on four continents, I deeply understand the complexities of navigating multiple cultures, identities, and life transitions. This personal journey fuels my passion for connecting with people from all walks of life, embracing diverse backgrounds and intersections with empathy and curiosity. In our work together, I provide strengths-based, client-centered therapy rooted in trauma-informed, mindfulness, systemic, and cultural frameworks. Whether you’re an individual, a couple, or a family—including adolescents and teens—I offer a compassionate space where your unique story is honored. At the heart of my practice is a commitment to creating a warm, safe, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly. If you’re seeking more clarity, deeper meaning, or more authentic connections in your life, I am here to guide you. As Rumi beautifully said, “The wound is the place where the Light enters you.” Let’s begin your healing journey together—because you deserve to thrive.
