Couples Therapy for South Asian & Multicultural Relationships
Honor your roots. Heal together. Grow in connection.
Being in a relationship can feel like walking between worlds—especially when cultural expectations, family roles, and personal values collide.
As a South Asian therapist, I understand the unique dynamics that come up in South Asian, Indian, Desi and multicultural relationships. Whether you’re navigating differences in upbringing, intergenerational expectations, or feeling caught between individual desires and family obligations, couples therapy offers a grounded, nonjudgmental space to explore and heal—together.
You’re not alone if you and your partner are struggling with:
Communication breakdowns or emotional disconnection
Tension between family expectations and personal boundaries
Cultural or religious differences
Interfaith or intercaste relationship stress
Pressure to meet external definitions of a “successful” relationship
Guilt or conflict around caregiving roles and obligations
Identity struggles (first-gen, immigrant, bicultural experiences)
Preparing for marriage in a culturally complex context
My Approach
As a South Asian, holistic, and mindfulness-based therapist, I bring cultural sensitivity and deep presence into every session. I help couples identify patterns, reconnect to their values, and practice new ways of relating with authenticity and respect. Sessions move at your pace, and I create space for both partners to feel heard and understood—without taking sides. My approach blends Eastern and Western perspectives—drawing from mindfulness, yoga psychology, and relational therapy to help couples:
Recognize and shift unhelpful patterns
Deepen emotional intimacy and understanding
Improve communication and emotional regulation
Explore cultural and familial dynamics with curiosity and compassion
Rebuild trust and alignment in your relationship
