Coming to therapy can sometimes be a scary experience because you might not know where to begin or some topics can be difficult to discuss. My approach to therapy is to make sure you feel heard and have a warm feeling as you open up to me over time. I am passionate about helping and listening to individuals, couples, and families. In particular, I work with women of color, adolescents (12+), family issues, and adults of all ages to address life's challenges. I specialize in relational issues, self-esteem, and school issues and support my clients in determining how to best navigate these challenges. I also work with those struggling with anxiety, depression and issues arising from divorce and other relational challenges. I specialize in systemically learning about you and the circles you interact with in your life. We will work together to find the tools that best fit you since there is no 'one-size-fits-all' therapeutic approach.

I am a first-generation South Asian American. I grew up on the East Coast, but my love for the Pacific Northwest grew when I moved to Seattle in 2020. I set out to do more in life than be in the corporate grind, so I decided to switch my career to become a marriage and family therapist. I recently graduated with a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University. 

As someone who grew up with anxiety, I understand and empathize with my clients who go through this every day. There is a lack of South Asian therapists in mental health, and I understand the cultural intricacies of both the Eastern and Western hemispheres. I decided I wanted to be part of a growing field that could help the South Asian community. I am Hindu and bilingual in Gujarati and English.  

Outside work, you will find me playing with my two incredible doggos and my cat. My husband and I love finding new trails in Sammamish. I enjoy cooking, having dinner parties, going to the beach, hiking, trying new restaurants, skiing, paddle boarding, and kayaking. I also practice daily meditation and prayers.
