About me
I am an experienced mental health counselor with specialization in eating disorders, working with South Asian clients and support perinatal/postpartum journeys. I also work with neurodivergence and support individuals looking to enhance their executive functioning.
I meet my clients where they are. While I use CBT (cognitive behavioral strategies), I tend to mix and match different approaches based on your presenting problem. I believe in change and helping my clients achieve their goals. It can be hard to trust a stranger, so I believe the stronger the therapeutic alliance, the better. I have experience helping clients work through processing cultural barriers and unfair treatment.
