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. I also appreciate integrating clients' existing spiritual practices into the therapy space.
My style offers radical self-compassion and radical imagination to help you embrace your past, present, and future selves. I balance being validating and warmly challenging, so you can build emotional flexibility and safely “meet your edges”. I'll strive to help you align with and embody the whole and complete version of yourself that you already are.
I have experience working with neurodiverse clients and clients living with personality disorders, complex PTSD, depression, anxiety, intergenerational and religious trauma, ADHD, imbalanced/conflict-oriented relationships, and spiritual challenges.
