About My Clients
When our whole being is overwhelmed and struggling to cope, we develop patterns such as anxiety, eating disorders, chronic stress and more. You are not alone and are deeply cared for in this space. I am here as your anchor, support, refuge, or guide, and will honor our relationship by leading with genuine compassion. I specialize supporting BIPOC, second-gen immigrants, LGBTQIA+ individuals, folks who experience eating disorders, Intimate Partner Violence, and chronic pain/illness.
My Background and Approach
Dominant culture therapeutic practices at best provide scaffolding to regain a baseline functioning back into society. However, as a South Asian, queer, and chronically in pain individual, I have learned this does not equate to deep healing and often promotes uplifting an oppressive status quo. This is why as a therapist I seek to provide a Decolonized, holistic exploration and building of well-being because it is more sustainable and powerful in that healing our own pain and trauma can leave us more resourced to work towards liberation in our society (i.e. identifying our own passion and method of shifting oppressive systems). In session we share stories, connect, reflect, and use practices from Interpersonal Neurobiology, Mindfulness, Somatic Psychotherapy, and more, to deepen our insight and awareness while support our bodies in metabolizing the hurt. For some clients, we identify grounded practices to help nurture transformative healing in between sessions.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that true healing is not about correcting something that is wrong with you, it is about developing understanding of how pain, hurt, and trauma is reflective of our social, historical, lived, and physiological conditions to build compassion. I use an integrative approach that is socially conscious and informed by a deep understanding of how our minds, bodies, and hearts work synergistically.
