“We are the ones we have been waiting for” – June Jordan. This powerful quote, shared with me by a beloved mentor, serves as the foundation of my outlook on life and my therapeutic practice.

In a world that often tells us we are broken, flawed, and unworthy, my personal experience has shown me the complete opposite. I believe that as human beings, we are inherently whole, intentional, and powerful. However, this truth can become obscured by our traumas, histories, and the social or familial beliefs imposed upon us. It is through these obstacles that we lose touch with the authentic and powerful truth that resides at the core of our being.

As a woman, person of color, immigrant from India, and mother, I have faced my own share of hurdles in finding and embodying my authenticity and truth. External disapproval, hatred, and cultural pressures have often acted as deterrents on my personal journey. Yet, with the unwavering support of my community, the love from my chosen family, and the strength to heal my own traumas, I have discovered my path—a path that allows me to be connected to others while embracing the uniqueness of my own journey.

With over 8 years of experience in teaching, guiding, and working with individuals who have struggled with purpose, relationship problems, and traumatic experiences that have hindered their personal growth, I consider myself blessed to walk alongside others on their own journeys. In therapy, I strive to create a safe and empowering space for you to fully embrace your authentic self and learn to accept all the different parts of yourself through your lived experiences, without judgment or rejection. It is my privilege to accompany those who are interested in embracing this transformative journey.

I am excited to have the opportunity to walk alongside you as you embark on this path of self-discovery and growth. Together, we can navigate the challenges, heal the wounds, and uncover the immense power and potential that lies within you.
