My Path
I'm a queer woman of color and have lived in the Bay Area for more than a decade. I give thanks to the unceded Ohlone land I currently inhabit, and to the many beings—human, non-human, living, and ancestral—who have nurtured me across time and space.
As the eldest daughter of Indian immigrants, raised deep in the Midwest in the 90s and early 2000s, I developed many adaptive strategies that helped me survive but had a cost: disconnection from myself and my true nature.
Over time, I have been reclaiming my sensitivity, softness, and deep feeling as vital sources of truth and connection. What once felt like too much has become a north star, helping me meet myself and others with depth, attunement, and reverence.
The photo you see here is me at age 3 or 4; she is one of my inner children. As we work together, we may also encounter some of yours. I hold space for the parts of us that have been hurt, neglected, or forgotten, helping them integrate into the wholeness of who we are.
My Practice
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California with a Master’s in Social Welfare from UC Berkeley and a BA in Psychology and Women’s Studies from the University of Michigan.
Over the years, I’ve trained in Buddhist psychology at Spirit Rock, relational psychodynamic therapy at the Women’s Therapy Center, and a variety of embodied and expressive practices, including conscious dance, authentic relating, and expressive arts.
I’ve worked in a wide range of settings—from schools and clinics to foster care and community mental health—offering care to people navigating complex trauma, life transitions, and identity exploration. I’ve also spent time in research and policy work focused on racial justice and systemic change.
