About

Thank you for prioritizing therapy as you balance life and the world around us! My therapeutic approach is grounded in the belief that individuals are the experts of their own lives. I aim to understand your unique life circumstances and the strengths and vulnerabilities you bring. I offer an anti-oppressive, relational, and systemic lens in therapy which fosters collaboration and learning. I wish to co-create a safe and welcoming space with clients to embark on a therapeutic journey at their own pace, experiencing warmth and openness.

My focus is working with adults of all genders and sexual identities. I hold expertise in helping individuals navigate relationship challenges, abuse, understanding grief and loss, and addressing various immigrant experiences within the therapeutic relationship. I center values of commitment, compassion, and advocacy in life and work.

Bilingual in Hindi, I moved to Chicago in 2008 to pursue a Master’s degree. I continue to learn and grow from the unique experience of being a minority in the US, while holding privileged South Asian identities. When not working, I enjoy spending time with my kids and exploring the outdoors when Chicago weather allows for it!
