Yes. I have extensive experience working with clients from South Asian backgrounds, including first-generation immigrants, second-generation children of immigrants, and people navigating bicultural identity, family expectations, and intergenerational dynamics.

Common themes include:

• Balancing individual needs and family obligations
  

• Navigating cultural stigma around mental health
  

• Struggles with identity, belonging, and perfectionism
  

• Managing relationships, marriage, or dating across cultures
  

• Dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or addiction in a cultural context

That said, no two people are alike—your story is always the starting point.

Yes. I have a deep familiarity with South Asian cultures, including the complexities of family structures, religion, gender roles, and immigration experiences across different communities. I speak Urdu, Hindi, and Punjabi, and I am attuned to the unspoken norms and values that often shape emotional life within South Asian families. While you won’t need to explain the basics to feel understood, I also recognize the importance of honoring the rich diversity within the South Asian community and avoiding assumptions—each person’s story is unique.

Yes. I work with individuals, couples, and families to explore the cultural and emotional layers of family conflict. We can look at how generational expectations, migration stories, and unspoken family roles affect your relationships today.

With care, nuance, and no judgment. Whether you're wrestling with religious identity, conservative expectations, or taboo topics like sex or orientation, we can create a safe space to explore those questions without fear of rejection or shame.

Yes. I offer couples and family therapy, including cross-cultural couples, South Asian parents and adult children, and interfaith relationships. Therapy helps create space for honest conversations and healthier patterns, even around historically "off-limits" topics.
