I grew up as a first-generation South Asian immigrant and an only child, and for a long time I carried everything quietly, balancing two cultural identities without really having anyone to process it with. That experience is a big part of why I do this work, and it shapes who I show up as in the room.
I primarily work with adults, many from South Asian or immigrant backgrounds, and what they're usually carrying is heavy unspoken silence. There's the exhaustion of bridging the gap between who they are at home and who they have to be out in the world, the frustration of cycles that run quietly in the background, a weight they've been managing alone because there hasn't been a safe place to let the words out. My goal is to give them exactly that.
Being in session with me feels like the background noise of the world has been turned down. I take a warm, unhurried, and curious approach, and what that means in practice is that you don't have to perform or arrive as any particular version of yourself. It's an authentic partnership, something we build together.
Beyond standard modalities, I work with people navigating the friction of cultural duality, help neurodivergent clients understand how culture shapes chronic masking, and support first-generation individuals untangling the guilt that can come with choosing their own path. We don't just treat symptoms. Together we deconstruct the cultural, generational, and systemic layers that have shaped you, with cultural awareness as a thread through all of it.
If any of that sounds familiar, I'd love to connect.
