About me

Hey you…yes you! You are not alone….

Having grown up a daughter of South Asian immigrants on the East Coast, I understand the struggle of straddling two cultures—East and West—and the feeling of living a “double life.” Along my own path of healing from childhood trauma, I became an inclusive trauma therapist to help other 1st-gen, LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and Neurodivergent folks heal from similar intercultural, intergenerational trauma too. We have so much common healing to do!

I have a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology with a specialization in Trauma Studies from Antioch University-Los Angeles. My specialties include: Trauma and intersectionality, LGBTQIA+, POC/BIPOC, and Neurodivergent folks, 1st-gen Americans, and narcissistic abuse recovery. Think of me as a wiser, older sister or a cool “auntie,” sharing wisdom learned along the path.

If we work together, I can share both personal and professional case studies/examples of long-standing symptoms or effects of the pain of physical / mental / emotional / psychological abuse, neglect, or other trauma…AND also long-standing healing from harm caused by narcissistic, addict, or in other ways emotionally immature parents.
