The Therapist Who Gets It.

Struggling with anxious thoughts, feeling down, or misunderstood?

Do you want to have a more authentic connection with yourself and others?

If you’re tired of solutions that don’t work and seeking guidance toward a better path, I’m here to help.

As a South Asian woman, I understand the challenges of balancing multiple identities while navigating a world that may not fully understand you. But you can embrace your true self, feel authentic in every space, and find the peace and confidence you deserve.

Let’s work together to create the life you’ve been searching for.
