Hi! My name is Aishwarya Nambiar [Eyeshh-wahr-ya Numb-bee-yarr]. As a South Asian woman who has grown up overseas, lived in multiple cities/countries, and is a child of immigrants, I approach my work with clients through an intersectional and decolonial lens. I believe the experiences we have often connect to one another and to those who came before us. Gaining this insight can be powerful as we discover, embrace, and build a healing relationship with parts of ourselves. I strive to ensure that your identities are honored in the space, you are the writer of your story, and you can show up as you are. Nothing in the space is off the table and yes, that includes curse words, humor, sex/intimacy, and intrusive thoughts to name a few.
I enjoy 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. Through an intersectional, mind-body based, and emotionally focused lens, I work alongside you as you reach the small and big goals you have set out. I value a therapeutic space where we can co-create, is inclusive, and empowers you as you navigate inter- and intra-personal issues. I approach care through a relational lens and know how important relationships of all kinds (the therapeutic one too!) are in the journey towards healing.
If you are looking for a compassionate and client-centered therapist who focuses on helping you understand who you are and embracing your authentic self, you are in the right place. If you have lost sight of who you are due to a loss of a loved one, finding it hard to process a traumatic experience, or are having difficulties in your relationship, I am here to help. If you are wanting to strengthen your relationship or simply want to form a clearer understanding of yourself and how you interact in your relationships, then I am the therapist for you.
If you would like to learn more or to see if we would be a good fit, please do not hesitate to email me for a free consultation. I look forward to hearing from you!
