About
I'm so glad you're here! I'm a clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience supporting adults through anxiety, depression, grief, health issues, identity concerns, self-doubt, and major life transitions. Much of my work is with people who are used to being the person everyone else relies on and who are tired of doing it alone.
My style is warm, collaborative, supportive, and personalized to your unique journey and identity. We'll look at what's happening now and at the patterns underneath it at a pace you set.
I work with people from all walks of life. I work closely with young women navigating identity, family expectations, and the pressure to hold it all together. As the daughter of Nepalese immigrants, I understand what it's like to move between cultural expectations and your own sense of self.
I've also written a book, "Inner Child: A Brief, Illustrated Self-Compassion Meditation." Outside of sessions, I'm usually with my toddler and black Lab or on a yoga mat.
