Life can feel especially heavy when you are carrying anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship stress, family expectations, or the pressure of balancing different cultural worlds. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing virtual therapy to adults in Illinois and Michigan, with a particular interest in supporting South Asian adults, women, and professionals.

I offer therapy in English, Hindi, and Urdu. My goal is to create a welcoming space where you feel understood as a whole person—including your culture, identity, family relationships, values, and life experiences. You do not have to minimize what you are feeling or explain why your cultural and family circumstances matter.

I approach therapy with respect, curiosity, and a bit of humor. I offer trauma-informed care which has led me to work with people who have gone through hard times and survived. I earned my master’s degree from Michigan State University and have stayed in the East Lansing area since then, working in local residential treatment facilities for teens and in an outpatient intensive treatment program with adults. I have spent the last 15 years working with adults in crisis, whether that is temporary situations like relationship issues or more chronic conditions.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Detroit

Finding postpartum therapists in Detroit starts with looking for care that matches your specific needs after pregnancy or birth. Postpartum concerns can include more than depression, such as postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, sleep-related strain, and relationship changes. As you compare therapists, look for experience in pregnancy therapy, therapy for new moms, therapy for new parents, or perinatal mental health counseling. Some therapists also list specialized training, such as a perinatal mental health certification (PMH-C), which can signal deeper experience in maternal mental health therapy.

In Detroit, the right therapist also needs to fit your schedule, location, and care preferences. Local offices may work well if you prefer in-person care near home, work, or a regular commute. Virtual appointments can expand access to postpartum therapists across Michigan and may be practical for new parents managing infant care, physical recovery, or changing routines. Before booking, review each therapist’s bio for their approach, appointment availability, session structure, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Therapy in Detroit can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, are accepting new patients, and offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details. You can compare postpartum therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
