Note: As a female therapist, I feel privileged to be able to provide my services to women suffering from domestic violence or victims of crime. Over the years I have worked with a diverse population from different socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. Coming from a South Asian background, I’m particularly eager to help communities within this population, such as Indian, Pakistani and Bengali.
