I offer a holistic, trauma-informed, anti-oppressive approach to therapy, grounded in evidence-based practice and intuitive flow based on my clients’ needs. I am a queer, South Asian therapist who earned my MSW from Columbia School of Social Work. My education focused on decolonizing therapy through a multicultural lens. My academic specialization is in behavior therapy (DBT & CBT), and my approach integrates nervous system regulation (polyvagal theory), somatic, psychodynamic, and mindfulness-based modalities, as well as IFS and parts work.

It takes a great deal of courage to reach out to another human being to ask for help. As a psychotherapist, I believe that the traumas we incur over our lifetimes and in relationships with our families, lovers, friends, co-workers, and employers can be healed in part through the therapeutic relationship. Life is our journey and it shapes, is shaped by, and is interpreted by us.

Your teen is under intense academic pressure, whether from high school demands or the overwhelming transition to college. The stress of grades, exams, and future decisions has led to anxiety, overwhelm, and deep self-doubt. They may feel lost, unsure of who they are or what they want, with expectations from themselves and others only adding to their burden. Technology and social media, once sources of escape, now fuel feelings of isolation, comparison, and inadequacy. You know it's a pivotal moment in their life, and it breaks your heart to see them struggle. You wish you had the right tools to guide them through these challenges.

Anxious perfectionism shows up as shame, self-criticism, stress, and chronic guilt & self-punishment. No matter what you do, you're always falling short. It's exhausting, but you don't really know how to relax. You probably don't sleep so well. Maybe you're first-generation, or the sibling who had to keep it all together, or a grown-up "gifted & talented" kid. Anxious perfectionism may also show up as body tension, severe procrastination & indecision, & difficulty with boundaries and people-pleasing. Perfectionism isn't just a cute word for people with high standards: it impacts everything we do in ways we don't consciously realize.
