You don't need
to have it all
figured out.
Maybe you know something needs to shift. Maybe you're still trying to understand what you're feeling, what you need, or why the same things keep showing up.
We don't exist in a vacuum. Our relationships, families, cultures, identities, bodies, communities, and the systems around us all shape how we learn to move through the world.
Therapy can be a place to look at those layers with curiosity — including what has helped you survive, what may no longer be serving you, and what you want to carry forward.
We can start wherever you are.
There are many reasons you might be here.

What might be
bringing you here?
There isn't one right reason to begin therapy.
You may be responding to something happening right now, trying to understand a pattern that has followed you for years, or realizing that an old way of coping isn't working the way it once did.
These areas often overlap. You don't need to know exactly where your experience fits before we begin.
Attachment & Adjustment
Relationships change us. So do endings, beginnings, grief, family dynamics, shifts in identity, and the ways we've learned to seek closeness or protect ourselves from it.
c-PTSD & Neurodivergence
Trauma, ADHD, autism, masking, sensory needs, and nervous-system differences can shape how you experience yourself and the world — especially when you've spent years adapting to environments that weren't built with you in mind.
Perinatal & Perimenopause
Pregnancy, postpartum, parenting, reproductive transitions, and perimenopause can bring profound changes in the body, identity, relationships, mood, and the way you understand yourself.
Mood & Stress
Anxiety, depression, overwhelm, burnout, grief, or simply carrying too much for too long can make it difficult to feel connected to yourself, to other people, or to what matters to you.
Psychedelics & Psychopharmacology
A space to explore your relationship with psychiatric medication or psychedelic experiences, including questions, preparation, integration, meaning-making, and harm reduction within the scope of psychotherapy.
Your experience may cross more than one of these areas. That's okay. People rarely fit neatly into categories.
Therapy should
feel collaborative.
You are the expert on your own life.
You bring your history, relationships, culture, body, ways of knowing, and the strategies that have helped you get this far.
I bring training, perspective, and another set of eyes. Together, we can understand what's happening without assuming that every part of you needs to be fixed.
Before asking “How do we get rid of this?” we can ask “What has this been doing for you?”
Notice.
Understand.
Experiment.
Integrate.
Notice
Pay attention to patterns, emotions, relationships, body cues, and the places where you feel stuck or pulled in different directions.
Understand
Get curious about where those patterns came from, what they may have protected, and how your experiences and relationships have shaped them.
Experiment
Try something different — a boundary, response, practice, perspective, or way of relating to yourself — and notice what changes.
Integrate
Let what you discover travel beyond the therapy room into relationships, decisions, difficult moments, and everyday life.
There are different
ways into the work.
We don't have to fit the work into one method. We might talk and reflect, pay attention to the body, work with different parts of yourself, use grounding or creative practices, or focus on practical next steps.
What we use can change as you change.
“My goal is to work myself out of a job.”
The awareness, choices, and ways of caring for yourself that develop here are meant to become yours — not something that only exists in therapy.
The person I am
is part of how
I practice.
A Bay Area–born South Asian queer woman, mother, therapist, teacher, and more.
I offer a warm, grounded space rooted in curiosity, connection, and care.
I have nearly 20 years of professional experience in advocacy, education, and the arts, most of which has been in direct service.
Healing doesn't happen
outside of context.
I'm especially attuned to the nuances of diaspora identities.
I approach healing through an anti-racist, decolonial, and intersectional lens, with an understanding that who we are is shaped by more than what happens inside of us.
I care deeply about breaking cycles of harm and supporting holistic healing across body, mind, spirit, and community.
And I strive to bring both depth and lightness into the work.

More about Hana
What does working
together look like?
We start with a conversation.
The first step is a free 30-minute virtual consultation — a chance to meet, talk about what you're looking for, and ask questions about working together.

Notes from
Hana.
Some conversations deserve more room.
This space is being created as a home for Hana's future writing, reflections, resources, and ideas she may want to explore beyond the therapy room.
Not everything needs to
become an answer.
Sometimes it's useful to stay with
the question a little longer.
Writing
coming soon.

You don't have to
know exactly what
you need.
We can start with a conversation.
Bring your questions, your uncertainty, what you know, and what you're still trying to understand.
We can take it from there.
When you're ready,
we can begin here.

It would be an honor to walk alongside you in your journey of growth and repair.
