You’ve done everything right.

You’ve built a life that looks good on paper

But something deep within still aches

If you’re longing to feel more whole

In your identity, your relationships, and your inner world

Let’s begin

*Now offering therapy for second-gen, South Asian, Brown (BIPOC) individuals, couples, & bicultural support group for immigrant families in California, both in person and online.

My approach

Depth Therapy Rooted in Story, Culture, and Soul

In a world that often pathologizes difference, my work helps you reclaim it as sacred.

As a Brown Therapist Who Knows, I offer depth-oriented therapy that listens beneath the surface, past symptoms and toward your soul. This is therapy shaped not just by pain, but by legacy, longing, and the quiet call to become fully yourself.

For second-generation South Asian, brown (BIPOC), immigrant individuals, this work honors the internalized expectations, invisible grief, and intergenerational trauma that often go unnamed.

We’ll explore:

  • Cultural stories and ancestral patterns

  • Archetypal energies and inherited emotional myths

  • Your personal experiences, without erasing the systems that shaped them

This form of therapy helps adult children of immigrant parents, BIPOC millennials, and bicultural couples find healing not just from what happened, but from what was silenced.

You don’t have to keep shrinking to survive. Let’s reclaim your full, complex self, together.

I’m a South Asian, Brown therapist in California and who helps support clients through bicultural identity counseling in California to untangle the layers of identity, family expectations, and self-worth so they can finally feel at home in themselves.

South Asian therapist offering depth therapy in California, who works with bicultural and immigrant families.

I am a second-generation South Asian therapist in California, who has long straddled the confusing art of bi-cultural worlds, often carrying invisible expectations, and silencing parts of myself to belong. I know well the pressures of our world to be high achieving and perfect — in love, in work and in yourself. I offer a space to unlearn perfectionism, people-pleasing, reclaim your story, release intergenerational grief, place boundaries, and feel whole again in immigrant families and BIPOC communities.

For second-generation, South Asian, Brown (BIPOC), immigrant individuals in California, my approach blends bicultural identity counseling with a relational style rooted in story, culture, and soul.
