You don’t need someone to explain what it’s like to carry your family’s expectations into every room you walk into. You need someone who already knows — and who can help you figure out what you actually want inside of that.

I work with high-achieving South Asian professionals who’ve done everything right by every measure that was handed to them and are privately asking: is this really it? The burnout that doesn’t have a name in your parents’ language. The relationship patterns that started three generations before you. The guilt of wanting something different from what you were raised to want.

My approach is preventive emotional strategy — not crisis intervention. I help you build clarity and resilience as an investment in yourself, the same way you invest in your career, your education, your family. This isn’t about rejecting your culture. It’s about doing something harder: honoring it while also making space for who you’re becoming.

I offer Walk & Talk sessions — outdoor, movement-based coaching that works especially well for people who carry stress in their body and need a space that doesn’t feel clinical. Walking side by side changes the conversation. Many of my clients have never been in therapy before, and this is how they start. Virtual sessions are an ongoing option.

I’m South Asian, I hold a MSW from the University of Pennsylvania with 20+ years of clinical experience, and I co-host the Unapologetic Aunties 2.0 podcast — a space for honest conversations about South Asian identity, family, and what it means to live on your own terms. If that resonates, we should talk.
