Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that's triggered by a traumatic, scary or dangerous event. PTSD can be caused by either witnessing or experiencing the trauma. Events that sometimes trigger PTSD include everything from sexual assault, war, and violence, to car accidents or other incidents that could cause loss of life. It is not at all uncommon for people who go through something traumatic to have temporary difficulty coping and acute symptoms, but with time, they usually get better. However, if the symptoms last longer than a month, get worse rather than better and affect your ability to function, you may be suffering from PTSD. Symptoms of PTSD may include severe anxiety, anger, nightmares, trouble sleeping, flashbacks to the event, frightening thoughts, avoidance of situations or places, feeling on edge and/or being easily startled. If you think you may be experiencing PTSD, reach out to one of TherapyDen’s specialists today to get help.
Most of my work focuses on working with folks in the LGBTQIA spectrum to heal trauma, improve relationships, explore sex and develop a sense of wellbeing. During our initial sessions we will explore your life, your issues, and your goals to build a collaborative way forward. Throughout our work we will look to build insight and shine a light on all of the pieces that make you, you.

Anxiety, Stress, Depression, Trauma, and Oppression run rampant through out society. Sometimes these things make it so that we can not be as present as we would like to be in our relationships, work, and our lives. These feelings can make it really hard to feel present. I can support you with tools and techniques so that you can be your fully expressed self in all areas of your life.

I'm passionate about working with clients who have survived trauma, be it emotional, physical, or sexual. Your body remembers all you experienced and deserves the space to safely reprocess. I love working with children of immigrants navigating intergenerational family dynamics or cultural conflicts. Together we can weave your intersecting identities and values into the tapestry of your life. I also enjoy working with women affected by the patriarchal systems in which we are forced to exist.

Are you stuck in the same unhelpful and repetitive patterns? Your anxiety is affecting everything - work, relationships, your self-confidence. You feel like you're "too much" or "too sensitive" for everyone in your life. Talking about your feelings isn't really helping as much as you want it to. You ache for ease and relief. I can help. I work with women who are ready to get unstuck from unhelpful patterns, heal long-held anxiety and trauma, and show up authentically and unapologetically.

I specialize in supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals, particularly those exploring their identities and navigating trauma in a cisheteronormative world.

Have you ever been told that you're the "Black sheep" of the community or your family, "Whitewashed", "Too South Asian", or "Not Brown enough"? Maybe you feel like you don't belong in your community, but you belong right here! As someone who was raised Indian and Catholic, I've also been called these things too. Sometimes it makes us feel isolated, and we withdraw from the world. It doesn't have to be that way!

My primary clinical focus has been treating adults from diverse backgrounds with anxiety and panic disorders, mood disorders, trauma, self-esteem issues, relational distress, adjustment, and multicultural issues. I draw upon principles of CBT, Narrative and Trauma Therapy, Inner Child Work, Attachment theory, Psychodynamic Theory, and Mindfulness-Based Practices and have experience with individual and group work in South Asia and U.S.A.
I have extensive experience helping individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, relationship challenges, and self-esteem issues. I understand how these struggles affect your sense of identity and well-being. Together, we’ll explore how to prioritize your needs, reconnect with what matters, and create a sense of safety and grounding. My goal is to help you rediscover balance, self-compassion, and move forward with confidence and clarity.
I blend a variety of therapeutic techniques—EMDR, CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic therapy—with a touch of humor— to create a dynamic, personalized approach to healing. Therapy is not a "one size fits all" solution, so collaborating with my clients to find what tools and strategies work best for each person is important to me. At the end of the day, you are the master of your own experience!
