** APRIL 2025: I am accepting new clients. I offer a free, phone consultation and I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots.
No matter how you define your relationship — dating, living together, engaged, married, life partners; and straight, queer, traditional, unconventional — your need for love and connection is the same. So too, are the issues that challenge the relationship bond. I work with opposite-sex, queer, and interracial/multiheritage couples. I have extensive experience helping partners/couples from the Indian/South Asian Community. I speak Hindi/Urdu.
Some common areas I help couples navigate is work-life balance, communication and managing conflict, life transitions, parenting stress, and managing cultural norms and family expectations.
Relationships are essential part of our lives.
We are hard-wired to connect with others. We need connection and relationships to feel safe, secure, happy, and able to tackle life's challenges.
Your relationship with your life partner, husband or wife, significant other, is the most intimate, profound, and important adult-to-adult relationship you have. Sometimes, recurring arguments, miscommunication, unhealthy expression of anger, and negative patterns of relating make you turn away from each other leaving you both feeling sad, alone and stuck. I can help you reconnect, build intimacy and resilience, so your relationship can bloom!
An essential part of all relationships is the quality of communication. And so, an essential part of our work is enhancing your ability to communicate with a level of trust and vulnerability that transforms your relationship from just close to truly intimate.
I help strengthen your ability to collaborate and compromise, so you are able to navigate situations and conflicts smoothly through your life journey together.
In addition to communication, we collaborate to work on mutuality and healthy interdependence; ability to be vulnerable and make space for your partner's vulnerability; ability to be present; respecting differences, especially around cultural, historical and gender issues; and supporting and empowering your partner's choices.
