I believe in your innate wholeness, and your ability to heal what needs to be healed. Therefore, my aim is to help you make contact with and fully accept the disowned, hidden, or feared parts of yourself. Along the way, we may uncover meaningful insights, and alchemize your experiences to create clarity of action, emotional release, or equanimity, guided by your inner intelligence. My aspiration is to provide you with an unhurried space and a gentle approach. I want our therapeutic relationship to be a safe container in which you can practice ways of being that may have eluded you up until now.
I am a first-generation South Asian immigrant who welcomes people of all identities into my practice. I am working towards my Masters degree in Integral Counseling Psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies. I also work in the field of biotechnology with an interest in addressing racial inequities through medicine.
The issues you are facing may be myriad: depression, anxiety, questions about culture and identity, life transitions, trauma, spiritually or psychedelically mediated crises or other challenges. Within our work, my focus will be attending to your immediate needs, while supporting you in exploration through therapeutic, creative, and somatic techniques. I hope for our work together to guide you to an integrated, deep relationship with your whole self.
