As a specialized Couples Therapist I operate an active online practice dedicated to helping partners heal, reconnect, and build secure relationships. Utilizing Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) as my primary modality, I provide culturally responsive, evidence-based relationship counseling tailored specifically for the global Indian diaspora, NRIs, and cross-cultural couples. Operating fluently in both English and Hindi, I offer a judgment-free, neutral space where partners can safely unpack complex emotional baggage. Core Specialties in Couples Therapy: Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): Guiding couples out of toxic, repetitive argument loops (like the "silent treatment" or constant bickering) by identifying root emotional triggers and rebuilding genuine emotional safety. Cultural & Family Dynamics: Helping couples navigate the unique pressures of South Asian relationships, including setting healthy boundaries with in-laws, managing joint-family expectations, and balancing modern independence with traditional values. Trust & Infidelity Recovery: Facilitating deep healing for couples dealing with physical or emotional affairs, financial secrecy, or broken promises. I guide partners through the complex process of accountability and rebuilding a shattered foundation. Pre-Marital Counseling: Working proactively with engaged couples to align on core values (finances, parenting, family involvement) and establish healthy conflict resolution skills before they get married. Intimacy & Connection: Assisting couples who feel like "just roommates" to rekindle their emotional and physical intimacy, bridging the gap caused by demanding careers, immigration stress, or the transition to parenthood. Responsibilities: Conducting relationship assessments video therapy sessions. Equipping partners with actionable communication tools to de-escalate conflicts in real-time. Mediating high-stress relational crises.
