My Approach

I provide relational and psychodynamically oriented depth therapy with the aim of adjusting long-standing patterns of behaviour that promote suffering and inhibit growth. Suffering can take many forms. Some common manifestations are anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, chronic loneliness, and dissatisfaction with life. My psychotherapies are free-flowing and guided organically by your unique qualities.

I work from the belief that a person cannot be entirely separated from their cultural perspective, biases, and values. Consequently, I disclose to clients that I identify as a cis-male of South Asian and Canadian heritage. When making sense of ourselves it is important to remember we are always members of a broader society. Insight into our social positions of power and marginalization add important context to understanding why we make the choices we make.

I have provided clinical and forensic professional psychological services in the US and Canada for over 10 years. I have extensive training in contemporary relational psychodynamic psychotherapies. Alongside private practice I have been employed for the state of California as a Staff Psychologist.

I currently offer virtual therapy exclusively via secure video, serving adults throughout California — including the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, Sacramento, and San Diego.
