About me

As an Indian-American or Hindu-American, you may face unique challenges when it comes to navigating your identity. From generational differences to cultural expectations, family dynamics can strongly impact your mental health and happiness. Additionally, experiences of racial trauma, discrimination, and Hinduphobia can lead to stress, anxiety, anger, and feelings of alienation.

We specialize in providing culturally competent mental health care, offering you a safe space to explore and heal from these intergenerational issues as well as the impacts of subtle racism and religious prejudice.

Together, we’ll work to honor your heritage while also fostering better communication skills and boundary-setting with your family. We’ll also support you in processing any racial trauma, coping with Hinduphobia, and fully thriving despite adversity.

I welcome you to e-mail me today to set up a free 15-minute phone consultation. Please feel free to visit HappinessPsychiatrist.com to learn more about my services and fees.
