Welcome — I’m so glad you’re here!

I aim to create space for any client exactly where they’re at, centering their held identities and lived experiences, and being a collaborator in their healing process. I find that creativity, connection, and joy are essential parts of good therapy. I am a second generation Indian immigrant and a straight cisgender woman. I hold the credentials of Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and Board Certified Music Therapist (MT-BC), and I’m a Minnesota Board of Social Work Approved Supervisor.

What Our Work Will Look Like: 

In our work together, we’ll definitely talk about mental health symptoms and coping strategies, but we’ll also explore systems of harm, investigate the ways you interact with these systems, and center your autonomy and inner wisdom every step of the way. I believe firmly that community, ancestral knowledge, and radical love are the roots of healing and essential tenets in the work toward collective liberation for all people. As the late Audre Lorde said: “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”

Who I Work With: 

I enjoy working with clients of all backgrounds, but have found myself most pulled to therapeutic work with immigrants, members of the South Asian diaspora, couples navigating cultural difference, and those impacted by incarceration or other systemic traumas. I can support youth (ages 12 and up), adults, couples, and families with concerns related to anxiety, depression, trauma, self esteem, racial identity development, relational challenges, life transitions, and more.

When I’m not working, I love being outdoors, tending to my garden, reading, traveling, and cooking for my loved ones. I am a kitchen herbalist, silversmith, community organizer, and an avid hunter of thrifted treasures. If you think we might be a good fit, please reach out!
