As a first-and-a-half generation Indian-American immigrant (born in India but moved to the US as a young child), I’ve felt that my identity exists in a sort of liminal space between dominant American culture and that of my family’s. This in-betweenness often left me feeling isolated and lost, but through my own therapy journey I learned how to trust my own inner voice to guide me through life’s most difficult challenges.

While my personal journey introduced me to the world of mental health, my experiences working with kids and teenagers with emotional and behavioral difficulties inspired me to pursue a career of my own as a therapist. Witnessing the healing impact of the connections I made with these young people led me to the conclusion that relationships are the key to living a good life, and my training in Marriage and Family Therapy during graduate school served to reiterate this truth.

My greatest skill as a therapist is the grounding influence of my presence, cultivated through over 15 years of meditative and yogic practices. My sincerest hope is that upon first meeting me and throughout our time together, my presence, my training, and my relationship with you will help you get the most out of this work.
