In their own words
Questions Dr. Priya answers themselves
The clinical bio doesn’t tell you everything. These do.
Question 1 of 4

“Start where the willing partner is. Often, change in one person creates new room in the relationship — and the other partner joins of their own accord, sometimes a few months in.”
