With a background in neuroscience and psychobiology, I help you make sense of the why behind how we react to stress and help you get more comfortable with your brain, body, and emotions. I also pull from my lived experience as a second generation Indian (Bengali) immigrant to help you find and utilize the strengths in your culture while holding less tightly to the expectations that hurt you. I received my Master of Social Welfare degree from UCLA and have mostly grown up in SoCal. Some of my hobbies are enjoying dramatic music, exploring information rabbit holes or listening to people explain their passions, and dopamine dressing. I love learning about different fandoms and subcultures and fields of study.
I have experience working with neurodiverse individuals (ADHD, Autism, and more), people navigating identity shifts or life transitions, and those struggling with anxieties, depression, trauma, grief and loss, disordered eating and body image, behavioral addictions, and shame. I also support families and partnerships working through strained communication and breakdowns in connection.
I’m here to help anyone who needs a safe space to just be themselves, or explore who that even is in an awkwardness-normalized, judgement-free zone where I always remember we’re both human. We’ll work together to build off your strengths, challenge limiting beliefs and rules that aren’t serving you, and break free from the cycles you’re tired of.
We can start wherever you’re stuck right now, whether that’s a place of overwhelm, shifting identity/roles, or having an idea of what you need but not how to want it. I’m not disappointed if you’re not excited for change. Therapy with me is collaborative, with plenty of room for humor, ambivalence, and works in progress.
