Culture & Diversity

As a South Asian woman, I understand that some clients are looking for a cultural fit. You may want a therapist who understands certain family dynamics without needing long explanations. I work with individuals from a variety of cultural backgrounds, including many clients from collectivistic cultures who want a therapist who understands the role of family, community, and tradition in their lives.

I also support couples who bring together different cultural identities. Some are in mixed-ethnicity relationships, some are raising bi-racial or multi-racial children, and some are navigating cultural expectations that do not always align. Therapy can help you find clarity, understanding, and shared meaning in these differences.

My work is grounded in a Family Systems approach. This is not family therapy, but in our intake session, we will create a genogram and explore the cultural and religious context that shaped your upbringing. I will take the time to understand your family structure, the people who raised you, and how experiences like immigration may be part of your story.

I welcome couples and individuals of all gender identities and sexual orientations. I work with same-sex and queer couples and support clients across the LGBTQ+ community.
