I work with adults and older adults facing life changes and challenges to mental well-being. Although I have been to school, you are the expert on your life.

If you're a South Asian couple/individual (ages 22 to 35) attempting to navigate challenges in your relationship, I see and hear where you're coming from. Besides the standard relationship challenges most people face, you are probably also navigating complexities around family & cultural expectations along with the different ways you or your partner's upbringing may be impacting how you show up in your relationship. This in turn could be bringing up emotions for you and your partner such as fear, resentment, loneliness or guilt. You might also feel stuck on who to turn to with your challenges due to the fear of being judged.

As individuals living in an often harsh world, often pushed to and fro from external and internal influences, we all will need at some point an anchor to ground ourselves. It should be the right of every individual to have the firm foundation to build on and achieve their greatest potential. We know that we can not grow to become our best selves in a vacuum. Just as building a strong foundation for a building required a group of skilled artisans so too do we as individuals need a strong skilled support network as none of us can succeed alone.

Feeling stuck? Are things getting worse? If you’ve been struggling to live your best life, connect with the people you love, and be the best ‘you’ possible, I can help you to make real and lasting changes. My approach is simple: First, we get clear on who and what matters most to you. Next, we figure out what gets in the way of you moving towards who and what matters. Then we take a good look at the ways you’ve been dealing with these obstacles—and why many of them don’t seem to be working. Finally, we look for better ways to overcome these obstacles, and get you steadily moving in the direction of who and what matters.
