Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, trauma, stress, or difficult experiences begin to shape how you think, feel, and move through the world. You may feel stuck, disconnected, or exhausted from carrying everything on your own. No matter what you've been through, you don't have to navigate it alone.

I work integratively, drawing on EMDR, CBT, DBT, mindfulness-based interventions, and psychodynamic principles to help you better understand yourself, process difficult experiences, and build practical strategies for emotional regulation and resilience. I also bring in solution-focused approaches, attachment-based work, and somatic techniques depending on what fits your needs. Every person brings a unique story, so I tailor therapy to your individual strengths and goals rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

My sessions are collaborative and emotionally attuned. I place a strong emphasis on helping you identify emotions and triggers, explore what sits beneath the surface, and develop skills you can actually use between sessions. Whether we're working through a workplace conflict, navigating family dynamics, building assertive communication, or processing something that happened long ago, I aim to create a space where you feel genuinely heard and supported.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting, but it can also be the beginning of something meaningful. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can connect and see if we're a good fit. I work with individuals and families, and I offer both in-person and online sessions. I also speak Punjabi and Urdu.
