My Approach to Helping

In our sessions, you’ll share at your own pace, and I’ll gently guide you to reflect and consider new perspectives. I aim to be direct but compassionate, helping you gain deeper insight into your challenges. Vulnerability takes courage, and I strive to make our time together meaningful by building trust and collaboration. We’ll do this through respect, clear communication, and setting expectations, all while incorporating a little humor and lightheartedness.

More Info About My Practice

I approach my work by balancing the mind and heart through a multicultural and relational lens. Having lived on multiple continents from a young age, I’ve developed a deep sensitivity to diverse experiences. As a third-culture kid—born in the USA to Indian immigrant parents, raised in the Middle East, and blending South Asian roots with an American identity—I understand what it feels like to be "othered." It's essential that my clients feel fully seen and heard for every facet of their multidimensional identity.

Authenticity is a core value in my practice. My goal is to help clients discover their authentic voice, identify what truly matters to them, and create a path that feels empowering and supported. There’s nothing more meaningful to me than helping clients realize and harness their inner strength to achieve their goals.

Groups I Work With

    I work with individuals from adolescents to older adults, addressing anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, grief, and relationship issues. Many clients come unsure of their needs, and my role is to help them explore their motivations. Together, we process unresolved issues and use those insights to build a life worth celebrating. My ideal client shows up with honesty, curiosity, and patience, ready to grow and be kind to themselves throughout the process.
