As a South Asian woman, first-generation immigrant, and mental health clinician, I bring a unique understanding of the psychological impact that growing up in a desi household can have on mental health and relationships. I specialize in supporting individuals within the South Asian diaspora as they navigate cultural expectations, childhood trauma, family obligations, identity challenges, and life transitions.
My goal is to help you uncover the coping strategies and belief systems that have shaped your life and guide you toward making meaningful, positive changes so you can truly live the life you want. We will use various scientifically backed modalities to accomplish this goal.
Who I Work With:
I work with adults facing a range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, marital and relationship conflict, coping with having a family member with mental illness (personality disorders, bipolar disorder, bpd), career transitions, survivors of narcissistic abuse, breakups and dating, people-pleasing, intergenerational trauma, imposter syndrome, childhood trauma, and life transitions.
Therapy can help you understand what isn’t working, heal past wounds, and build new patterns that support your growth and well-being.
My Approach:
I take an integrative, relational, holistic, and culturally sensitive approach to therapy. I see each client through the lens of their unique cultural background and life experiences, ensuring you feel understood in a safe and supportive space.
Relationships, whether with yourself or others, are central to our lives. When self-esteem is low or you’re carrying the pain of a breakup, dating challenges, or family conflict, it can affect every area of life. I believe healing your relationship with yourself is the foundation for positive change in all relationships.
Breakups and relationship struggles bring a unique grieving process. If left unprocessed, this pain can resurface in future relationships. Therapy provides a space to work through this loss safely and begin to heal.
Couples Therapy:
Healthy relationships require communication, respect, empathy, and strong conflict management skills. I provide couples with tools to break negative cycles, rebuild emotional connection, and create a thriving partnership.
I am specially trained in:
The Gottman Method: A research-based approach for understanding conflict patterns and improving relationship satisfaction.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): An attachment-based model for couples wanting deeper emotional connection and understanding.
I also integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), Polyvagal Theory, and psychodynamic therapy to support both individual and relational healing.
I offer sessions via a HIPAA complaint teletherapy video platform as well as in person in my West LA office.
I am accepting new clients all across the state of California, and am excited to meet you!
