Thank you for taking the time to support yourself as you look through my information. It can be a daunting task to find a therapist who you feel will understand you, your identity, and concerns, and actually help you move in a direction that works for you. This is exactly the work I’ve honed over 15+ years of clinical practice. I’m a South Asian Indian psychologist and specialize in treating trauma, depression, and anxiety. I practice EMDR and the Safe and Sound Protocol. Aside for individual therapy I specialize in providing immigration psychological evaluations.
I approach what I do with care, curiosity, and deep respect for the complexity of each person’s story. As someone shaped by layered cultural and intergenerational histories myself, I’m attentive to the ways early relationships, family expectations, systems, and survival strategies continue to live in the body long after they were formed. From our first consultation (before we even start a session together), I intentionally create space to talk about the cultural, familial, racial, and systemic factors that matter to you. While I bring both lived and professional experience, I never assume a one-size-fits-all understanding. Your experience is nuanced, and it deserves that level of care and intention. In therapy, we work to build a repertoire of internal and external resources that are relevant to your real life, not generic coping strategies. Ultimately, the goal is for you to stand in the power you do have—making decisions that genuinely work for you. If you’d like to learn more about whether we’d be a good fit head over to http://www.essentialdialogues.com. Please feel free reach out! I’ll be happy to hear from you.
