My approach to counseling is informed by a combination of psychodynamic therapy, harm reduction, mindfulness practice and an overall investment in collaboration, self-determination, and collective liberation. I may employ a variety of approaches tailored to fit your individual style and needs. The therapeutic process includes experiencing feelings and aspects of yourself that you may find unappealing or painful. And doing so in a supportive, non-threatening environment, can be liberatory, opening up space for living, joy, sturdiness, and compassion for self and others.

 

I have two master’s degrees, in social work and in law and social policy from Bryn Mawr College Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree from Barnard College, Columbia University. I participate regularly in continuing education and am currently a member of the Northwest Alliance for Psychoanalytic Study, the Society for Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Psychology of the American Psychological Association, the Washington Counselors of Color Network, the PNW South Asian Behavioral Health Initiative, and the National Queer and Trans Therapists of Color Network.
