Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when you have spent a long time carrying things on your own. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships, family expectations, cultural identity, life transitions, or experiences that are difficult to put into words. You may simply know that something feels different and want a safe place to understand yourself better. As someone originally from India and a practicing Muslim, I understand how culture, faith, family, identity, and community can shape the way we understand ourselves and experience mental health. My approach is culturally responsive and grounded in curiosity, empathy, and respect for your individual experiences. We can explore how culture, family, faith, identity, relationships, immigration experiences, and personal values may influence your emotional well-being. My goal is to create a therapeutic relationship where you can slow down, make sense of what you are experiencing, and explore what you need without judgment. You do not have to choose between honoring where you come from and becoming the person you want to be. I also welcome clients who feel most comfortable communicating in English, Hindi, Urdu, or Telugu.
