Clients I Work With
I specialize in anxiety, self-esteem, relationship skills, couples, parenting and big life changes for individuals and couples. I see a lot of mixed race/ethnicity/religion couples as well as couples where one or both partners are neurodivergent. My caseload tends to be predominantly filled w/ clients from Indian, Asia, 1st and 2nd-generation and BIPOC professionals as well as immigrants – especially those navigating the tech industry. There is no need for prior therapy.

Approach
My therapy approach is collaborative, active, and nonjudgmental. Together, we’ll create a personalized toolbox filled with effective tips, tricks, and strategies to help you achieve your goals quickly and confidently. I don’t adhere to a single theoretical model like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or Psychodynamic. Instead, I select techniques from various modalities tailored to your needs, wants, and goals. One constant in my practice is mindfulness. We can’t change our patterns without recognizing them, and that recognition often requires slowing down from our busy lives. As a result, in session we do a lot of slowing down, breathing and being present. While this practice can be challenging, the rewards are profound: enhanced self-awareness, self-compassion, inner peace, resilience, empowerment, and so much more.

Beliefs & Lived Experience
I am first generation Southeast Asian American female who was born and raised in New York City. After having lived and worked around the world (Lagos, Dubai, Jakarta, Mumbai and Madrid), I landed on attending graduate school in San Francisco, CA. During the pandemic, my family and I moved to Austin, TX.

My role as your therapist is to provide a safe, nurturing space where you can be your authentic self – free from judgment, retaliation, or fear of retribution. I take an engaging approach rather than the traditional “blank slate” style and may assign homework when it’s helpful to your growth.

No matter what you’re working on or how you choose to show up, we’re in this journey together, and you get to define what works best for you. I value transparency and actively encourage open, direct feedback to ensure our work aligns with your needs.
