About

Are you feeling stretched thin, tired of masking, or longing for a space where you can simply exist? Maybe you’re exploring identity, gender, sexuality, non-monogamy, or kink, or trying to reconnect with your body after sexual or relational trauma. You might be carrying grief tied to loss, transition, or the ongoing weight of systemic harm. I offer a supportive, affirming space where you don’t have to overexplain yourself and where your full humanity is welcome. I believe that for oppressed people, intentionally cultivating pleasure is an act of resistance. As a queer, non-monogamous, South Asian, neurodivergent woman, my lived experience deeply informs my clinical approach. I understand how layered identities shape our relationships, nervous systems, and access to rest, pleasure, and connection. I bring both professional training and firsthand knowledge of navigating sex-positive, CNM and kink-affirming spaces
