You may feel your true, joyful self is hidden under layers of depression, anxiety, guilt, or shame. Maybe you’re trying to figure out how to achieve your dreams of living the life you were meant to live. Maybe you’re trying to deal with being alone for the first time, or again. Or maybe you’re trying to manage a relationship that has gotten very tense, or is long distance. You may have had a negative experience with therapy in the past. I'm a solution focused therapist working with an incredible team and if I can't help there'll be someone on my team who can.

If you identify with the LGBTQ community, as a gay identifying therapist, I understand you might experience an added layer of stress. I understand the impact of these feelings and believe in hope for a better tomorrow. I specialize in helping clients with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, relational issues, and men's mental health issues. I provide a safe space to help clients unpack the issues they are looking to address, find meaning, strength, and solutions.

With over 8 years of experience as a therapist, I have supported and worked with diverse populations of children, adolescents, adults, and couples through a variety of life challenges. My clinical interests include working with adults and couples to maneuver life challenges around identity and narrative work, role exploration, attachment, and understanding complexities around family dynamics as an adult. I’m interested in exploring the ways intersectionalities and intergenerational trauma show up within mental health. I’ve enjoyed working with and supporting women’s health and exploring the many societal pressures women often face.

Often what brings people to therapy is the desire to change a pattern of behavior that no longer works in your best interest. Changing the way we handle certain areas of our lives can be a difficult process. Finding the right therapist for you is essential in making this change happen. Together we will explore what change you would like to move towards, and understand how your patterns developed over time. What once were effective coping skills may no longer be necessary or useful, but letting go and finding another way is the work we can do together.

At some point in our early childhoods, we learned (whether communicated directly or indirectly) that we must sacrifice a part of our authentic selves in order to be worthy of love. Even as adults, this shame around our true selves continues to hold us back from feeling deeply connected with others, living by our values, and finding internal peace to buoy us through uncertain, stressful times.

When feeling down or distressed, finding support can be daunting. I believe that mental health struggles are rooted in relationship disconnection, and seeking someone to talk to and problem solve with is a courageous first act of self-care. In our sessions, we will shine a light on patterns of conflict or emotional reactivity that developed in response to stress and trauma. We will get curious about what is working for you already and where there is room for growth. I will empower you to self-soothe and guide you in deepening relationships in order to find relief. We will work together to create goals that are right for you.

The path of change, growth and healing undoubtedly requires courage and vulnerability. Many of these strengths are called upon even in deciding to start therapy, as doing so can evoke fear, concern and/or embarrassment. While these feelings are very real, they may also drown out the voice saying you’re worthy of being supported, heard and understood. I’d like you to take this opportunity to recognize and appreciate your commitment and bravery to yourself, and know that it is this commitment, alongside my commitment to you, that will guide you towards becoming your best self.

Growing up, I did not know much about mental health and therapy until I was in my own crisis. I was greatly impacted by mental health stigma that has had such a big impact of my Latinx community, and my own experience. I understand stigma is something that many different communities may face, and I hope to help break down that stigma so people can openly receive the help they need. After reaching out for help myself, I was able to start living up to a better version of myself. Now I hope to provide similar hope to others.

As a South Asian therapist, I understand the deep value of family and the intricate meanings tied to being an immigrant and a woman of color. I believe that every person's lived experiences uniquely shape their life and perceptions, which is why finding congruence and meaning in one’s life is important. In my practice, I utilize an integrative approach that blends systems, humanistic, and multicultural frameworks.
