THERAPY BEGINS WITH FEELING SAFE ENOUGH TO be yourself.
a little about me
For over sixteen years, I’ve walked alongside individuals and couples through anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and the quiet struggles people carry long before they say them out loud.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I take a client-centered approach to therapy. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all path to healing, so I tailor our work together to meet your unique needs, goals, and strengths. My role is to partner with you as we explore challenges, build insight, and create meaningful change.
While therapy offers a place to process and reflect, it is also a place for growth and action. Together, we’ll identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck and develop practical tools and skills to help you move forward with greater confidence, clarity, and resilience.
My clinical experience includes working within hospital systems and supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds and life experiences. As a South Asian immigrant who has lived and traveled internationally, I bring a deep appreciation for cultural differences and diverse perspectives. I am committed to providing culturally responsive, neurodiversity-affirming, and LGBTQIA+ affirming care rooted in empathy, curiosity, and respect.
I work with both individuals and couples and have a particular interest in supporting healthcare professionals and their families. As the spouse of a physician, I understand many of the unique pressures, responsibilities, and emotional demands that can come with working in healthcare and caring professions and with supporting someone who does.

Caring for others has always been part of who I am.
Inspired by my mother, I grew up volunteering at orphanages, supporting individuals with developmental disabilities, and caring for injured animals.
Those experiences shaped my belief in the healing power of feeling genuinely seen, long before I stepped into a therapy room.
Becoming a parent and learning that I have a neurodivergent brain helped me embrace parts of myself that had been quiet for most of my life. Creativity became a source of purpose and joy.
Outside of therapy, you’ll often find me woodworking, designing spaces, or tackling a DIY project, usually with my kids sketching ideas beside me.
I also love reading, being outdoors, staying active, and exploring new restaurants with my spouse around Charlotte.

Sometimes the hardest part is simply reaching out.
If something here resonated with you, I’d be happy to connect for a brief conversation.
The first step is just a conversation. A free 15-minute consultation — no pressure, no commitment, just a chance to see if it’s the right fit.
