Therapist

Life can feel especially heavy when you are carrying anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship stress, family expectations, or the pressure of balancing different cultural worlds. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing virtual therapy to adults in Illinois and Michigan, with a particular interest in supporting South Asian adults, women, and professionals.

I offer therapy in English, Hindi, and Urdu. My goal is to create a welcoming space where you feel understood as a whole person—including your culture, identity, family relationships, values, and life experiences. You do not have to minimize what you are feeling or explain why your cultural and family circumstances matter.

I bring 16 years of experience to my work and genuinely love what I do. I’m passionate about helping people feel empowered, heal, and move toward lives that feel meaningful and authentic. I believe everyone has the capacity to heal—sometimes we just need a little support along the way. I live near the tri-state border and provide remote therapy to clients in Illinois and Iowa. An Iowa native, I spent about a decade living and working in Southern California and Phoenix before returning to the Midwest to be closer to my (now) husband and stepkids. Yes—I traded sunny San Diego for a snowy Midwestern winter in December!

In my practice, I strive to offer a safe, affirming space for women and LGBTQIA+ individuals. I specialize in supporting neurodivergent clients and those living with chronic illness or disabilities. I also bring personal understanding to this work, having benefitted from therapy myself as a bi woman with ADHD and physical disabilities.

I especially enjoy working with young adults navigating the many transitions of their 20s and 30s. This stage of life can feel overwhelming and uncertain, and I believe it becomes far more manageable—and meaningful—with the right support.
