Welcome.

I am an integrative therapist, psychedelic-assisted (ketamine) facilitator, and founder of Vidya Integrative Therapy committed to attending to the wholeness of those I support.

My work is trauma-informed, queer-and neurodivergence-affirming, and honoring of the interconnected nature of healing. Our minds, bodies, and spirits are not separate. All aspects deserve to be known, heard, and held.

At Vidya Integrative Therapy, my focus is on honoring your innate healing intelligence and working to enhance your strengths and capacity for flourishing. My approach draws on my training in psychology theory and praxis, as well as somatic and energetic wisdom rooted in South Asian healing modalities.

I integrate pranayama (breath regulation), yogic philosophy, chakra science, Ayurveda, and Vipassana meditation with modern evidence-based practices. It is not a rigid framework, but a comprehensive, co-created, intersectional model informed by who you are and what you need. Embedded in the work is the knowing that we heal relationally and that individual therapy can be a powerful conduit to collective liberation.

I work with clients of all backgrounds, prioritizing care for Asians and other people of color, immigrants/refugees/third culture folks, elders, LGBTQIA community, and those at the threshold of menopause. (Expanded menopause support includes collaborative consultation with an Ayurvedic doctor.)

I hold a Master of Science in Coaching Psychology and Applied Positive Psychology with research focused on South Asian mental health, and I’m accredited through the EMCC. I also have advanced certifications in pranayama, yoga and yoga nidra, and trauma-informed care, and have trained in menopause coaching support, birth and end-of-life doula support, Core Synchronism, reiki, and Hakomi therapy. My work is grounded in lived experience with physical and emotional challenges and values of curiosity, love, and justice.

I founded the Asian Psychedelic Collective (the first organization of belonging for Asians working with psychedelics) and was part of the only equity cohort at Fireside Project (a warmline for those who are tripping or integrating past psychedelic experiences). I also helped review and develop the Psychedelic Practitioner Guidelines for the American Psychedelic Practitioners Association. I hold certifications from Integrate and other psychedelic facilitation programs where I completed practicums with ketamine, MDMA, and psilocybin.

I offer both telehealth and in-person sessions in the Washington, DC area on Piscataway and Nacotchtank land. My rate is $200 per fifty-minute session. While I don’t accept insurance, I am committed to ensuring financial barriers don’t prevent anyone from accessing this care and offer a broad sliding scale and payment plans. Therapeutic support for those directly impacted by ICE is by donation.

I warmly invite you to reach out via email for a complimentary twenty-minute connection call.
