Growing up in an immigrant community, conversations surrounding therapy were often hushed or surrounded by shame. I saw friends and family suffer in silence rather than seek support. Over time, I came to understand how, when asking for help is seen as a weakness, silence becomes a way to survive.
As someone who is Bengali-American and has witnessed firsthand how difficult it can be to access meaningful support, I am deeply committed to breaking down those barriers. My goal through therapy is to create a collaborative partnership with you, exploring your lived reality through trust, empathy, and receptivity.
My approach is more eclectic. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, I like to look at the whole picture: how your past experiences, emotions, and life patterns have shaped the person you are today. And so, it is tailored for you! From there, I integrate a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive lens into my practice, while helping you develop practical tools that feel useful and relevant to your life.
I am currently completing my Master’s degree in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness at New York University (NYU). Prior to my graduate training, I received my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Hunter College, with a concentration in Clinical Psychology and a minor in Legal Studies, and earned a certificate in Business Studies.
Your stories, experiences, and challenges will be held with the utmost importance, as they deserve a dedicated space to be heard and validated. As your therapist, I hope to help you make sense of what you have carried alone, give language to what may feel difficult to express, and work with you to bring those experiences out of isolation and into understanding.
