Culturally Competent Mental Health Support for South Asians in North America, Accessible from Home

I am a trained clinical psychologist, with a degree from Columbia University. I have been practicing as a psychologist since 2020 and have worked with over 500 clients. My areas of specialization include anxiety disorders, couples counseling, marriage and family issues, physical intimacy, gender and sexuality, maternal health, depression, and stress. I have a particular interest in working with survivors of abuse.
In my practice, I utilize an eclectic approach, combining CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic techniques to best suit the needs of my clients. Additionally, I have extensive research experience and have published numerous academic articles in international journals and psychology handbooks.

Having grown up in India and lived in the USA for eight years, I am well-versed in multiple identities and personality types, which enables me to work effectively with clients from multicultural backgrounds. I primarily work with South Asians in the United States and other countries who are dealing with stress, cultural adjustment, career stress, loneliness, relationship issues, and low self-esteem.

I’m a first-generation Trinidadian-American with a background in both corporate finance and family therapy. I know firsthand how complex family dynamics can get, especially within the Indo-Caribbean and South Asian communities, and I’m here to help you tackle challenges like setting boundaries, managing relationship stress, and handling family pressures. My approach is rooted in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), a method similar to EMDR that helps people work through intense trauma or everyday issues like anxiety, low self-esteem, and phobias—often faster than traditional talk therapy. Having witnessed these struggles up close in my own family through substance abuse and codependency, I’m committed to providing straightforward, supportive guidance to help you reach a place of relief and confidence.

I am a psychotherapist dedicated to the decolonization of mental health and the promotion of ethical, accessible mental health services. In my therapy practice, I work relationally through a psychodynamic lens, specializing in both individual and group therapy. I believe that the therapeutic alliance is of utmost importance in therapy. My approach is humanistic, and I work through a trauma-informed and queer-informed lens. I run a private practice online, offering flexible and accessible therapy options for individuals and groups.
My ongoing training in group analysis at the Institute of Group Analysis in the UK has deepened my understanding of both group and individual therapy. This training has allowed me to observe how unconscious group dynamics reflect those of family systems and broader societal structures, helping me understand people not just as individuals but as part of a wider relational context.
