 As someone whom has also experienced trauma and has actively worked to dismantle her colonial rhetoric- I wish to ensure that the individuals I interact with feel heard. Along with feeling understood and validated in their own narratives. 

My intent is never to tell you your story, but rather help you find your emotional language to express it at your comfort. Rather than being your voice, I wish to help you find yours. Which may look unique for each person, and incorporate other mediums such as art or music; as opposed to just words. 

As a South-Asian identifying person, whom has had the privilege to have lived and traveled to various cities globally- I bring a wealth of my own life experience to the space we create. Exposure to diverse peoples and cultures has significantly informed my conceptualization of the world as well as my therapeutic style.

Therapy is a relational experience, and I always treat it as a deeply vulnerable and powerful exchange occurring between two people. My hope is that I can make you feel safe enough, in order to begin to dissect your inner dialogue that may have kept you from finding your path. My goal is to never come from a place of I'm the expert, but rather mirror, reflect and guide your journey. We are both equal passengers in this experience together, which I feel honored to embark on with you.
