Hi! My name is Aishwarya Nambiar [Eyeshh-wahr-ya Numb-bee-yarr].
Despite outward success, the best of us can often feel lonely, misunderstood, and inadequate. You may have lost a loved one, are struggling to find your place in the world and embrace your intersecting identities, feeling disconnected with a significant other, navigating a life transition, or unsure how to cope with traumatic events you have faced. If any of these rings true, you are not alone. I am here to walk alongside you and help you develop the tools to navigate the challenges you are facing..
I am passionate about helping individuals and couples form a stronger understanding of their inner workings to aid how they navigate the world, their relationships, and ultimately, live a fuller, healthier life. Creating a therapeutic space that centers your needs, minimizes the inherent power dynamic that exists between therapist and client, and is empowering is what I strive to do as a therapist.
Through a culturally sensitive, emotionally focused, relational, and trauma informed lens, I work with you to set and achieve your goals. Collaboration is of utmost importance to me in the healing process. Together, we will work hard and at your pace to explore past, present, and future challenges and cultivate the tools for your growth.
My identities of being South Asian woman, child of immigrants, and being raised overseas informs my anti-oppressive practice and has allowed me to have a deep understanding of various cultures, backgrounds, and upbringings. If you would like to learn more or to see if we would be a good fit, feel free to email me at aishwarya@relationship-center.com for a free consultation.
