I help people who struggle with depression, relationship issues, trauma, grief, and creative blocks. An additional focus of my practice centers around issues such as race-related stress, acculturation challenges, and bicultural identity. I specialize in working with immigrants and children of immigrants, people navigating major life transitions, and creatives and artists.

You may long for a space that can lead to deeper understanding and real transformation, not just short-term coping. Therapy can offer a space to listen inward, begin to understand yourself more deeply, and find new ways to respond to challenges.

My approach is depth-oriented, relational, and culturally attuned. I believe that lasting change happens in the context of a trusting relationship with an emotionally attuned therapist, who can witness your experience with care and curiosity, and help you make meaning of what’s been difficult to face alone.  It’s a collaborative, unfolding process of slowing down, listening closely to what’s been buried or overlooked, and beginning to relate to your experiences and yourself in a new way.

Cultural sensitivity is foundational to how I practice and I am pleased to be able to offer therapy in English and Bengali. The process of finding the right therapist isn’t easy, and it’s a brave choice to embark on the journey towards healing, insight, and growth. A relationship with an emotionally-attuned therapist can be life-changing.

My style is warm, grounded, and collaborative.  I offer a deeply attentive space where your inner world is heard and held with care. Through gentle but thoughtful exploration, we slowly uncover the feelings, conflicts, and ambivalences that often lie beneath the surface. Together, we name the patterns that might be limiting you, working steadily and patiently to help you feel better, gain more self-understanding, and have more choice in how you live your life. My goal is to provide a steady, committed attunement that supports your journey toward insight, healing, and meaningful change.

It is courageous to take steps in your search for the right therapist.
