MULTICULTURAL COUPLE’S THERAPY

ONLINE COUPLES THERAPY

I welcome you to reclaim love for yourself, and your relationship! How would it feel like to be a

co- creator with your partner, dancing through life together versus feeling like you’re in an uphill

battle against the one you love? Deep down we all want to feel seen, heard, loved, belonged,

and safe. You CAN co-create intimacy, connection, trust, and communication within your

relationship, it’s just that most of us don’t know how to. Whether it was from the unrealistic

romantic movies you watched as a kid, to seeing your parents or caregivers model love that

didn’t quite resonate with you, many of us didn’t have healthy examples of love &amp; relationships

growing up. Where have you learned to love? Can you relate to this? If you’re reading this far,

then I’m assuming you can relate. The journey to reclaiming love and relationships then

becomes about trial and error, learning as you go, and exploring what works and doesn’t work

for you. Like many, my journey to reclaiming love and relationships, (which still continues) also

began this way.

My journey & Values

I learned more about love from my heartbreak than my actual relationships. The process of

putting the pieces of my broken heart back together made me see the parts of myself that I

hadn’t seen before. Ultimately we all want to be seen, heard and loved in our relationship. It was

heartbreak that forced me to begin loving the parts of myself I despised & shamed, so I could

experience more intimacy in my relationships. I have danced back and forth in embracing my

cultural identity, sexuality, womanhood & body in order to experience more connection, love,

understanding, trust, and communication with those I love.

As a South Asian Indian American woman of color, born and raised in Washington D.C., I grew

up with hip hop and rock music, giggled with school friends as English effortlessly grazed off my

tongue, but would come home to my mother tongue language, Hindi & Marathi. I was struck by

my parents’ dual life, from working the 9 to 5 and holding the conflicting label of “model minority

citizens”, to coming home and absorbing ourselves in Bollywood movies, yoga, Indian Classical

dance, and spicy curries for dinner. I know what it’s like to constantly switch between

multicultural identities, but not feel a complete sense of belonging to either culture, thus making

you long for a sense of home &amp; belonging in yourself and your relationship!

I understand how cultural experiences & beliefs like arranged marriage, dowry, collectivism,

immigration, religion, sexual shame & guilt, in-laws &; family dynamics also impact you and your

relationship! It’s not easy, but what if I said, you CAN honor your cultural upbringing and still

cultivate your ideal relationship with your partner? Together, the three of us can invite more

truth, honesty, openness, intimacy, connection, and all that you desire in your relationship!

What I believe

Perhaps there was a time in the beginning of your relationship where you felt so in love and

valued but are now stuck in a cycle of the same arguments over and over again. Sometimes

you might feel like ending the relationship altogether.

I believe in bringing back that same initial feeling of playfulness & child-like joy into our

therapeutic journey of healing and growth and ultimately your relationship! The journey to

intimacy and connection doesn’t have to always be heavy, but can also be fun. I invite you to

recall the reasons that brought you both together in the first place, while embracing the change

both you and your partner have gone through!

We all deserve to feel like we are growing in our relationships instead of repeating the same

toxic patterns. The more we are able to see, hear, and love ourselves, the more we’ll be able to

do the same for our partner and overcome the constant arguments &amp; patterns that keep coming

up.

My Approach

Seeing & hearing both parties is important to me. Together we will explore the beliefs you both

grew up with versus what beliefs support your relationship today, so you can have a strong

foundation to heal and grow!

I will support you in gaining clarity about your triggers so you can communicate your needs to

your partner and feel received, heard, and seen!

In addition to talk therapy, I often utilize art, music, poetry and dance, to explore different ways

of communicating yourselves and connecting with each other through new experiences. Studies

show that most of our communication is nonverbal, meaning we don’t actually say what we

mean. Therefore, I pay attention to body language and also use somatics to understand your

patterns & triggers so that we can problem solve in real time.

Along with my Masters in Counseling Psychology &amp; Expressive Arts therapy and 3+ years of

working with a diverse range of cultural backgrounds, identities, and ages, I am passionate

about integrating &amp; decolonizing practices from my cultural lineage such as tantra, yoga,

meditation, mindfulness, spirituality, archetypes, cultural mythology and cultural dance to

empower ALL and make healing accessible to everyone! Cultivating love within yourself &;

relationships inspires those around you and altogether creates a more loving world!

Do you want to reclaim love & your relationship? Do you want to reclaim love, intimacy, and

connection so you can cultivate your dream with your partner? I know the first step can be

daunting, which is why I am here for you to answer all your questions over a consultation call.
