*Offering Telehealth to all Georgia residents*

You’re emotionally exhausted. You’re not sure how to process your current or past painful experiences. You feel the heaviness of these experiences affecting your work, school, and relationships. You know you want a safe, non-judgmental space with a therapist that values all facets of you. A space where all your identities are recognized and celebrated, and not just a “one size fits all.” Whether you are new to therapy or still searching for your “right fit,” I would love to help guide you during your therapeutic journey. Together, we can work on unpacking your emotions and finding a route toward healing, authentically fit for you.

As a first-generation immigrant, I saw a need for therapeutic spaces that not only recognized but celebrated all parts of clients’ identities. I am passionate about dismantling negative stigmas surrounding mental health care, providing safe spaces for those who have been negatively impacted, and empowering clients within their collectivist cultures.

My approach to therapy is through repairing and healing, utilizing a collaborative, trauma-informed approach. I strive for advocacy inside and outside of the therapeutic space, dedicated to making long-lasting changes in our South Asian community. I operate using Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) and Humanistic theories, including narrative and existential frameworks. Feminist theory allows me to address identity exploration, systemic oppression, and social change with my clients in a strengths-focused way.

I would love to be a part of your healing journey. I invite you to contact me to book a free 15-minute phone consultation to see if I would be a good fit for you!
