I’m a queer woman of color and the eldest daughter of Indian immigrants, raised in the Midwest and rooted in the Bay Area for over a decade. My lived experience deeply informs how I understand belonging, adaptation, and the costs of surviving in spaces that don’t fully see you.

Like many of my clients, I learned to function well while disconnecting from parts of myself. My personal journey has involved reconnecting to those parts and recognizing their value. I bring that same sensitivity and depth into the therapy room.

The photo you see here is me at age three or four. I include it as a reminder that we all carry earlier versions of ourselves. In our work, there is space for those parts to emerge in their own time.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California, with degrees from UC Berkeley and the University of Michigan. I have experience in schools, community mental health, foster care, and racial justice work. My practice affirms queer and trans identities, nontraditional relationships, immigrants and children of immigrants, artists, activists, and those navigating complex trauma.
