Welcome to my space

I am a licensed clinical psychologist providing virtual therapy in Massachusetts. I apply research evidence in my clinical work with individuals, couples, and families. I have specialized training in three areas:

1. Individual Therapy for anxiety, depression, and stress. I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and behavioral medicine techniques to help individuals cope with challenging emotions. I aim to help people live according to their values. I also have specialized training in working with people with neurological illness (e.g., multiple sclerosis, ALS, traumatic brain injury) who may feel confused and alone in navigating uncertain and unpredictable disease course. I help people work through changes and adapt to living well with chronic illness. Using an integrative approach, I combine mind-body, psychosocial, and lifestyle interventions to provide personalized and patient-centered care.

2. Couples and Family Therapy: I also provide couples and family therapy to improve communication, conflict resolution, and relationship intimacy. I help couples who are in transitional stages of life (planning parenthood, new parents, caretaking for parents) and who may be experiencing unexpected situations or circumstances navigate changes effectively.

3. South Asian Mental Health: I am passionate about providing South Asian indivduals, couples and families tools to cope with various issues. These can include sexism, colorism, family obligations and expectations, intergenerational trauma, mental health stigma, acculturation, assimilation, casteism, colonization, etc. While these issues are often a source of tension and conflict, they can also be a source of profound insight and self-growth. I care deeply about these issues and helping individuals, couples, and families navigate differences in ways that allow them to uphold their values.

My Identity: I am a South Asian woman, born in Mumbai and raised in New York City. I identify as a Sindhi, first generation, college graduate. I straddle a bicultural Indian, American identity.

Therapeutic Approach: My therapeutic style is collaborative and flexible. I strive to create a safe and compassionate therapy environment. I work together with patients to understand their challenges and craft a treatment plan that aligns with their goals. I then apply practical tools to help them navigate those challenges in ways that support their overall well-being. I come to the therapy space with my background and strive to understand how aspects of people's background and identity impact the way they cope with challenges. This allows us to collaboratively explore how to navigate difficulties that align with patient values. Ultimately, I hope to help people uncover the resilience that already resides within them.
