My goal is to support my clients with the best therapeutic approach that adapts with their current mental health symptoms and interpersonal or intrapersonal problems they are struggling with. My experiences as an Indian female, have led me to believe the importance of being culturally competent is not only essential in my career, but in my social, academic, and personal life. I have and continue to seek skills and education to support children and families who come from various cultures, socioeconomic status, family support systems, age, gender, and national origin. I understand the collectivist and individual societies client’s identify with. I support clients who are struggling with various mental health disorders ranging from mood, personality, and trauma disorders. I invite you to a safe space to discuss any problems impacting your emotional well-being. I want you to be heard, and understand therapy is a non-judgement zone for you to share triggers impacting your mental health.
