Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, my primary goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel truly heard and respected. We'll take time to get to know each other, explore what brings you to therapy, and begin setting clear expectations and goals for our work together. This initial conversation also gives us a chance to see if we're a good fit. My hope is that you’ll leave the session feeling grounded, empowered, and more hopeful about your path forward.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

What sets my practice apart is the integration of personal experience with professional expertise. Having moved from India to pursue my education and career, I deeply understand the complexities of cultural transitions, identity exploration, and the challenges of building a life in a new environment. My lived experience as a woman navigating these shifts brings depth and relatability to my work—especially with clients who are facing similar transitions or identity-related challenges. I've been drawn to psychology since adolescence, and it has remained a steady source of purpose and curiosity in my life. Growing up in a culture where mental health was rarely discussed, I’m committed to breaking the stigma and helping others find their voice—just as I found mine through this work.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I’m best positioned to support adults who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, or substance use and are ready to make meaningful changes in their lives. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns or unsure how to move forward—but they’re motivated to grow, heal, and take back control. I especially enjoy working with individuals who are introspective, open to self-exploration, and committed to putting in the effort between sessions—whether that’s practicing mindfulness, applying CBT tools, or reflecting on patterns in relationships or behavior.
