Therapy is weird.
I’m here for it. And for you.
I’ll admit it - therapy can feel strange.
Talking to someone you don’t know well about what is going on in your life or where you are feeling stuck can definitely feel awkward.
To help clients (and myself) get through the weirdness of therapy, I bring curiosity, humor, and deep listening to my work with clients.
Plus the occasional f-bomb.
As a therapist, I believe you have enormous wisdom about yourself, why you do stuff, and how it has served you. My job is to accompany you in exploring it–and hold the space for us to look at, reconcile, heal, change or accept what’s going on.
Therapy to help build the life you want.
I’m am a South Asian therapist in NE Portland working with individuals or couples who are looking to understand themselves better, break old habits or patterns that aren’t serving them, or create space to improve their relationships.
I work with clients on whatever issues they are concerned about. Specific areas I’m passionate about include:
Anxiety
Life transitions and adjustments
Grief
Being BIPOC in a white place like Portland
Medical trauma
Couples or relationship work
Gender identity and sexuality exploration
Working with neurodivergence

Um....Did you know that sounds like No Feelings Therapy?
Yup, I sure did. And I think it's hilarious.
When I first started therapy, I could label 3 of my feelings: angry, sad, and hungry. And I wasn't even sure that hungry was a feeling? Little did I realize--most people can't name more than three feelings (thanks for the research, Brené!). Therapy helped me slow down and find my own experience of my feelings.
If you are like I was - therapy can work for you and I get it. If you know your feelings and are wondering if a formerly emotionally stunted therapist can help you, what have you got to lose?
