I am deeply honored to work with members of the LGBTQ+ community, offering a space that is affirming, compassionate, and grounded in genuine understanding. My work with LGBTQ+ individuals centers on helping people reconnect with their sense of self, heal from shame, and embrace authenticity in all parts of their lives.

Many of my clients carry the weight of rejection, invisibility, or trauma, particularly from religious, cultural, or familial experiences that conflict with their identity. Using an integrative and relational approach grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS), ACT, and trauma-informed care, we’ll work together to process these experiences with compassion and to strengthen your inner sense of safety and self-worth.

I believe that your identity is not something to be explained or justified. It is something to be celebrated. I recognize the profound courage it takes to navigate a world that can, at times, misunderstand or reject who you are. Therapy is a space where you are deeply seen, affirmed, and supported in living authentically and fully as yourself.

For those who hold both LGBTQ+ and South Asian identities, the experience of navigating identity can be uniquely complex. Balancing cultural expectations, family relationships, and your own truth can often bring up feelings of isolation, guilt, or invisibility. Especially when the spaces around you don’t fully understand or reflect your lived experience.

As a South Asian psychologist who identifies within the LGBTQ+ community, I approach this work with cultural humility, intersectional understanding, and relational depth. Together, we’ll use psychodynamic exploration, IFS, and mindfulness-based reflection to unpack the internal and external conflicts that arise at these intersections.

Our work centers on helping you find belonging within yourself, your relationships, and your communities. You deserve to live as your full, authentic self, in a way that honors both your roots and your individuality. Without apology and without compromise.
