Navigating relationships, cultural expectations, and personal identity can feel overwhelming. You may be facing challenges in your marriage, struggling with family dynamics, or feeling caught between tradition and the modern world. I work with young adults, couples, first- and second-generation immigrants, and women of all ages who are dealing with relationship issues, cultural identity concerns, or religious dilemmas related to acculturation. My approach is person-focused and integrative, drawing from CBT, nervous system regulation, DBT, and couples work, including the Gottman Method and EFT.
As a South Asian therapist, I understand the unspoken pressures around family, identity, and expectations. I help clients set boundaries with cultural sensitivity and navigate tensions between faith and modern life. I hold space for those seeking to live authentically while staying grounded in their beliefs.
Therapy is a space to slow down, be heard, and reconnect with your values and goals. I offer in-person and online sessions in a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where your story matters. Reach out for a free consultation, I’d be honored to support your journey toward clarity, connection, and meaningful change.
I also support parents in building practical, effective parenting skills while strengthening connection at home. Whether you’re navigating cultural expectations or everyday behavioral challenges, I help you respond with clarity, consistency, and emotional attunement. I work with teens to improve communication, manage strong emotions, and express themselves respectfully, while helping parents understand what’s beneath the behavior so conflict can turn into collaboration and trust can grow.
These professionals may include clinical psychologists.
