Hi there! As a practicing clinician of ten years, my goal as a therapist is to provide a welcoming and safe space where you can feel comfortable to be and express yourself, to have your voice heard, to process and work through any challenges you are facing, and to know that you are not alone as we work collaboratively together. I strive to create an environment where one can engage in self-reflection, self-exploration, growth, and healing. Before obtaining my Ph.D. in Social Work at New York University, I earned a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Hunter College and a B.A. in Psychology at Brooklyn College.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, burnout, and stress. I obtained my Masters Degree in Social Work from the University of Maryland, which a concentration in clinical social work. I have worked in a variety of settings including, psychiatric hospitals, correctional facilities, community mental health programs, as well as private practice. I also have a particular passion for working with those in law enforcement and understand firsthand the unique pressures, expectations, and emotional toll that come with the job.
Clients often describe my style as warm, grounded, and easy to talk to. I aim to create a space that feels real and nonjudgmental, where you can show up as you are. I focus on treating the whole person, not just symptoms, and I use a blend of approaches to support you in a way that feels practical and meaningful.
I take a holistic, non-pathologizing approach to therapy, supporting clients who want to feel better without feeling labeled. In addition to my clinical training, I also have a background as a health coach, which allows me to incorporate wellness and lifestyle strategies into our work. I believe mental and physical health are deeply connected, and I enjoy helping clients strengthen both.
Above all, I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and supported as your full self.

I offer a safe, respectful, nonjudgmental space where you can talk openly about what’s on your mind. I see therapy as a partnership, with your goals, values, and voice guiding our work. I tailor sessions to your needs using evidence-based tools, and I may suggest simple between-session practices to help you build insight, resilience, and lasting change.

I’m an Indo-Caribbean therapist who understands what it’s like to grow up in a home where emotions weren’t talked about, and being strong meant staying silent. Therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to explain your culture—you can just be.
We’ll go at your pace. I don’t expect trust right away—I earn it by showing up with honesty, softness, and respect for your story. Whether you're dealing with grief, anxiety, burnout, or identity shifts, I offer a space where you can exhale, untangle what you’ve been carrying, and begin to feel again.
I work well with immigrants and children of immigrants, especially South Asian and Indo-Caribbean adults, who are navigating generational wounds, people-pleasing, high expectations, or feeling disconnected from themselves.

Are you feeling stuck? Ready to feel more open? Ready to take the next step towards stronger relationships, self love, laughing more, and finding your sense of purpose? You can accomplish all this and more in therapy. When in therapy, intentional space is created for you to reflect and feel supported by another person that is curious, empathetic, compassionate, and can offer support through life's challenges. My intent as a therapist is to become a mirror, reflecting your deepest desires, life purpose, and the patterns that keep you from living your fullest life.
I utilize trauma- informed evidence-based practices that help the therapy move quickly such as EMDR and CBT helping you identify core beliefs and resolve inflexible patterns of thoughts- feelings- and behaviors. I also utilize somatic, mindful, and intuitive approaches.
All it takes is making a quick email or phone call to get started in becoming your best self. Putting one foot forward is how we turn dreams into reality.
