My Therapeutic Style & Approach
Feeling pulled between cultures, identities, and expectations? Exhausted from always performing or trying to fit into a mold? You're in the right place.
As a South Asian, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist in Dallas, I understand the pressures of navigating spaces that weren't built for you—the constant balancing act, family and cultural expectations, and the weight of being "seen but misunderstood." I work with teens and young adults exploring their identity, managing anxiety, processing intergenerational and cultural trauma, or seeking to reconnect with their creativity and authentic self.
You Don't Have to Explain Your Experience
I understand the nuances of being a child of immigrants, navigating bicultural identity, coming out in culturally conservative spaces, or feeling pressure to uphold family honor while pursuing your own path. You won't need to justify why family dynamics are complicated, why you code-switch, or why certain expectations feel suffocating.
In our sessions, you can be fully yourself without translation or performance. We'll honor your cultural identity while creating space for your authentic self to emerge.
"Therapy is a space to release expectations, explore your identity, and reconnect with your authentic self—without judgment or performance."
You don't need to explain your cultural background or experiences of being BIPOC or LGBTQIA+. I understand the nuances of intergenerational expectations, cultural identity, code-switching, and navigating spaces where you may feel unseen. We work together to honor your story and create strategies that actually fit your life, values, and goals.

I didn’t check. I was avoiding listening to my own voice like any normal human being.
