Something feels off, but you can't quite name it.
Maybe it shows up as intrusive thoughts you can't escape. A relationship that keeps hitting the same wall. A quiet, persistent sense that you're not living as freely as you could be. Whatever brings you here, it often traces back to the same place: the deeply held beliefs and patterns of thinking that once helped you make sense of the world, but now keep you from moving through it.
My particular focus is OCD and South Asian family dynamics and relationships. These are two areas that are, in different ways, widely misunderstood and underserved. OCD especially is far more than what most people picture. It is nuanced, often invisible, and can show up across every area of life without ever being recognized for what it is.
Understanding matters here, but so does action. Real change does not happen through insight alone. I work with you to build the responses and behaviors that make that insight land, because knowing something and changing it can be two very different things.
You don't have to be in crisis to begin. Curiosity is enough.
Origin
We come from different places.
Different families, different countries, different versions of what it means to belong. Universal Minds is built on the idea that while individual experience is real and matters, certain experiences of being human travel across all of those differences.
The experience of not quite fitting. Of carrying something you were never given language for. Of moving between worlds and wondering which one is really yours. These aren't experiences that belong to one culture or background. They show up everywhere, dressed differently depending on context, but recognizable when you look closely enough.
Universal Minds grew out of my own version of that. Born in India, raised in Australia, and shaped by the UK and the US, I learned to hold multiple identities at once and to sit with the discomfort of not knowing which version of yourself is the real one. For a long time, I treated that feeling as something to resolve. What I came to understand is that learning to live inside that tension, rather than escape it, was what made me a better thinker and a more honest person.
That's the belief at the core of this: that while your experience is entirely your own, shaped by your history, your culture, your relationships, you are not alone in it. Individual differences are real and they matter. And so is the thread that runs underneath, connecting people who, on the surface, might seem to have nothing in common.
Community isn't incidental to healing. It's often where healing actually begins.
