Therapists » Marriage & Family Therapist Associate
As human beings, we may desire freedom, fulfillment, or meaning in our lives. But sometimes, the mind can trap us in its false narratives. I work with multicultural expats, global nomads, & children of immigrants struggling to find their place and sense of belonging in the world, artists/creatives of color grappling with creators’ block and self-doubt, and South Asian teens & adults in the diaspora interested in exploring how perfectionism, unrealistic societal/familial expectations, and cultural heritage (including religion, spirituality, sexuality, caste, class, race) impact their emotional well-being and who they are as people. Integrating relational-cultural and social justice oriented frameworks with expressive arts, narrative therapy, and archetypal mythology, I hope to support you in rewriting your story and (re)connecting to your authentic self. I embody compassion and curious nonjudgmental questioning to support and challenge you in cultivating self-awareness and self-love. It can be hard to find the words or have the space to discuss and process life experiences, particularly if therapy is not seen as an acceptable part of your culture. I invite you to practice radical self-care by reaching out for support to begin or continue the lifelong process of healing and personal growth. The fullness of your being is welcome here.
