I offer sessions that are client focused and curious. In our sessions, we co-create a space with compassion, creativity and humor to foster an environment where you can feel both safe and challenged to grow. I practice with a psychodynamic relational approach that is trauma-informed and socially aware of power and privilege, critical of psychological paradigms that pathologize suffering. I specialize in working with queer and trans clients with a particular focus on trauma, dissociation, and grief. I ground my work in an anti-oppressive and queer-affirming approach that acknowledges the many experiences we bring on both an individual and societal level.

I am a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist and and AASECT Certified Sex Therapist. I work from a collaborative, anti-oppressive, trauma-informed perspective and specialize in working with members of the queer, kink, sex work, and non-monogamous communities. I work with clients who are seeking support in a wide range of areas while offering expertise in sex and relationship issues.

If you're struggling with anxiety and depression or find yourself feeling stuck, you may have come to the conclusion that you need some extra help. Therapy is the right place for breaking free and retaking control of your life. I utilize a warm, humanistic, competent style in addressing the obstacles that you face. I specialize in helping people suffering from anxiety, depression and PTSD. I am trained in multi-model psychoanalytic psychotherapy, and I aim to help you to utilize your knowledge of yourself to regain control over your life and to express yourself authentically. I'd like to help you get to the root of the problems you face. I encourage individuals to take a deeper, introspective dive, explore what might be going on beneath the surface and understand themselves in a new way. I’ll ask some thought provoking questions and offer you some insights to help you in this process. Complementing my focus on your individual experience is my in-depth extensive training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy at the Training Institute for Mental Health and continued study of psychoanalysis. Reach out to me for a free phone consultation, and I will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Are you wondering how to "balance it all" and be organized? Do you want to feel more confident, less anxious, or happier? Then therapy with me may help you live your life to the fullest. For over a decade, I have helped clients like you understand these questions and learn the skills to be more successful. I offer person-centered, growth-focused, judgment-free, and trauma-informed treatment in both in-person (close to Washington Heights subways) and convenient online sessions. In treatment with me, you can expect a comfortable and supportive environment to learn about yourself and grow. While all treatment is individualized based on the client's needs, we will help you better understand yourself and your partners and learn new skills to live your desired life. The most important factor when selecting a new therapist is a good fit. You should feel seen, heard, and supported to grow and change. Contact me to schedule a brief consultation to see if I am a good fit for you.

When emotional or behavioral challenges begin to affect daily life, relationships, and overall well-being, it can feel overwhelming and difficult to know where to turn. Having thoughtful, structured support during these times can make a meaningful difference. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I provide evidence-based, relational therapy for children, adolescents, and young adults experiencing anxiety, OCD, mood concerns, ADHD, trauma, and behavioral difficulties. I also offer practical guidance to parents seeking steadier, more effective ways to support their child. My approach is grounded in evidence-based care and tailored to each individual. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD and anxiety, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and DBT-informed skills. I value depth, flexibility, and thoughtful collaboration over one-size-fits-all approaches. In our work together, I aim to create a steady, collaborative space where young people feel understood and supported while also challenged to grow. Therapy is not just about symptom reduction — it is about helping young people build resilience, flexibility, and confidence that extend beyond the therapy room. I partner closely with parents, offering guidance to reduce overwhelm, strengthen communication, and respond more effectively to difficult moments. My goal is to help young people and families feel steadier, more capable, and better equipped to navigate life’s inevitable ups and downs.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), I take an integrative approach to therapy for adults and older adults. My work centers on helping you navigate anxiety, depression, relational trauma, and the often-disorienting weight of life transitions. Whether you're grieving a loss, stumbling through the fog after an impactful change, or simply wondering "how did I get here?" — you don't have to figure it out alone. I believe in the power of genuine, human-to-human connection. As your therapist, I aim to be a steady and honest partner in your growth: someone who celebrates your wins, sits with you in the hard moments, and gently challenges you when you're ready. Together, we'll work to help you discover your own inner strength, build self-compassion, and create a life that feels more aligned with who you truly are. Therapy is not one-size-fits-all, because neither is your story. I draw from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to build practical coping skills, psychodynamic therapy to understand how your past shows up in your present, and solution-focused techniques when you need momentum and clarity. I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you build self-awareness and create lasting change. What you can expect from our work together is a safe, judgment-free space. I believe in being a real human in the room with a clinical lens, balancing warmth and personality with genuine therapeutic support. Your unique story, values, and goals shape the direction of our work, and I tailor my approach to meet you exactly where you are. My path to becoming a therapist began early. Growing up, I played the role of the fixer, the doer, the "don't need to worry about her" child in my family, because that was where I felt most seen. Those personal experiences gave me a close view of how isolation and shame keep people stuck in familiar but unhealthy loops, and how one safe, honest connection can begin to untangle that. That understanding deepened my commitment to care that is both compassionate and direct, never dismissive. Now, I bring my full, authentic self to each session: curious, collaborative, and unafraid to sit with hard things. Outside of my role as a mental health clinician, I enjoy spending time with my loved ones and my cat, Chichi. I also love trying new restaurants, catching movies at different theaters around the city, traveling to the next destination on my ever-growing bucket list, and dabbling in art just for the fun of it.

As a mental health counselor, I support adults 18 and older as they move through experiences like anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Meeting people where they are matters most to me, especially when they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about what comes next. I walk alongside you as you deepen your understanding of yourself and learn gentler ways to work through emotions, and together we focus on building more fulfilling relationships and creating meaningful, lasting change. I believe in meeting each person with empathy, respect, and genuine curiosity, which helps me be a compassionate and collaborative partner in your healing journey. I also understand that reaching out for support can feel difficult – know that you don’t need to have everything figured out before beginning. I’m here to help you get started as you recognize your strengths, feel more confident navigating life's challenges, and create meaningful change. I believe meaningful change begins when people feel genuinely heard, understood, and accepted for who they are. That’s why I ensure a warm, collaborative, and tailored approach to your care, in a nonjudgmental environment where you can show up as yourself, even when you’re unsure how to put what you’re feeling into words. Together, we draw on person-centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and solution-focused techniques to help you understand patterns, work through difficult emotions, and develop coping skills that feel realistic for your life. My style is compassionate, down-to-earth, and gently encouraging to meet you where you are, move at a pace that feels comfortable, and tailor our work to your individual needs, experiences, and goals. I grew up in Bangladesh and moved to the United States as a teenager. Learning to find my place in a new culture while staying connected to my Bengali roots gave me a personal understanding of how transitions, identity, language, and family expectations can shape the way we see ourselves and experience the world. I also came to understand how difficult it can be to talk about mental health when you have been taught to stay strong, keep personal struggles private, or put the needs of others before your own. These experiences helped lead me toward counseling and strengthened my commitment to providing care that is culturally responsive, compassionate, and free of judgment. I bring this warmth, openness, and genuine curiosity to each session so my patients feel seen as whole people, not defined by a diagnosis or by what they are going through. When I'm not in session, you'll find me dancing, exploring different parts of New York City, trying new restaurants and cafes, spending time in nature, traveling, or staying active. I also value quality time with friends and family and appreciate the simple moments that help me feel grounded and recharged.

As a mental health counselor, I help adults navigate anxiety, stress, perfectionism and overwhelm, people-pleasing, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Many of the patients I work with look like they have everything together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, or disconnected from themselves or others on the inside. Together, we can explore what's underneath those feelings, understand the patterns holding you back, and work toward feeling more grounded, confident, and reconnected with who you are. I strongly believe in each person's ability to learn, grow, and heal, and that belief shapes me into a compassionate, collaborative, and supportive partner in your care. You do not have to navigate this alone — I look forward to helping you feel truly seen, understood, and more deeply connected to your authentic self as you create space for your own healing. I would be honored to support you in your journey. I believe therapy should be a warm, collaborative space where you feel truly seen, understood, and supported. Helping patients reconnect with their authentic selves, understand deep-seated patterns, and live more closely aligned with their values is something I'm deeply passionate about, work that leads toward meaningful, sustainable change and true healing. Together, we create a compassionate, judgment-free, relational, and tailor-made environment, shaped by an integrative, person-centered, and strengths-based, trauma-informed approach. My goal is to meet you where you are with empathy and flexibility so you feel more grounded, understand yourself more deeply, and break free of patterns that no longer serve you. My path to becoming a therapist began with my own experience as a patient during a stressful time in my life. I initially sought therapy hoping to gain coping skills, but came away with so much more, unlearning limiting beliefs, reconnecting with my values, and feeling hope again. This experience deepened my commitment to providing warm, compassionate, relational care, and I bring that same warmth, empathy, authenticity, and belief in the healing process to each session with you. I love crafting, watching my favorite shows, and spending time with friends and loved ones. I'm also looking forward to getting back into kickboxing soon, since it's something I find both fun and stress-relieving!

As a social worker, I specialize in anxiety, life transitions, self-esteem, relationship and interpersonal issues, and grief counseling for a range of populations, including adolescents, young adults, and older adults. I’ve supported patients in managing these various challenges that affect mental health throughout my career, bringing the same attentiveness and integrity to every person I work with. This combination allows me to be a supportive clinician, and I'm looking forward to providing you a safe space to do the work of your mental health journey. Person-centered, non-judgmental, and collaborative care isn't just a description of my approach; it's the foundation of how I show up for you. I’m passionate about creating a safe, authentic, and open space where you can learn more about yourself in therapy. Sessions draw on strengths-based and person-focused therapy to support your mental health journey, and my style stays adaptable so I can meet you where you are. That flexibility lets me shape our work around the goals that matter most to you. Therapy has always called to me. Since I was young, I've been the friend who listens and supports the people around me, offering insight and space to those who want to be heard. In college, I was inspired by my neuropsychology professor, who described the function of our brains and nervous system, and I've felt drawn to this work ever since. I bring all of these experiences and interests with me in providing authentic, person-centered care today. When I’m not in session, you’ll most often find me singing, playing tennis, or traveling!
