I am a licensed clinical psychologist providing virtual therapy in Massachusetts. I use an integrative approach, combining mind-body, psychosocial, and lifestyle interventions to provide personalized and patient-centered care. I specialize in the following 3 areas:
1. South Asian Mental Health: I am passionate about providing South Asian individuals, couples, and families with tools to cope with various issues. These can include sexism, colorism, family obligations and expectations, intergenerational trauma, mental health stigma, acculturation, assimilation, casteism, colonization, etc. While these issues are often a source of tension and conflict, they can also be a source of profound insight and self-growth. I care deeply about these issues and helping individuals, couples, and families navigate differences in ways that allow them to uphold their values.
2. Couples and Family Therapy: I also provide couples and family therapy to improve communication, conflict resolution, and relationship intimacy. I help couples who are in transitional stages of life (planning parenthood, new parents, caretaking for parents) and who may be experiencing unexpected situations or circumstances navigate changes effectively.
3. Individual Therapy for anxiety, depression, and stress: I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and behavioral medicine techniques to help individuals cope with challenging emotions. I aim to help people live according to their values. I also have specialized training in working with people with neurological illness (e.g., multiple sclerosis, ALS, traumatic brain injury) who may feel confused and alone in navigating uncertain and unpredictable disease course. I help people work through changes and adapt to living well with chronic illness. My therapeutic approach is holistic and addresses physical, psychological, and social well-being.
I strive to create a safe and collaborative therapy environment. We work together to understand your challenges and craft a treatment plan that aligns with your goals. We then apply practical tools to help you navigate those challenges and support your overall well-being. Ultimately, I hope to assist you in uncovering the resilience that resides within you.
In addition to my private practice, I am also a staff psychologist and clinical researcher at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School, where I develop and deliver clinical programs to improve people’s quality of life.
