You want to work through stress, anxiety, and trauma. You feel stuck and out of options. You know life shouldn't feel this hard, but you can't figure out why you're triggered by the smallest things. You find yourself doing and saying things you're ashamed of, but don't know why you do them or how to stop. Your emotions feel too overwhelming or you feel completely numbed out. You’re at a breaking point and need a place to become grounded, where things can begin to make sense, and where you can heal and learn to live again.

I believe everyone has strengths, and we will pull from yours during therapy.

Life is too short to be lived on autopilot. Intentional living for what matters can take your life from "same old, same old," to one in alignment with your values and aspirations. I’ve spent over three decades in the worlds of teaching, program development, and psychology. Think of me as your guide. One who’s got a treasure trove of life hacks, insights, and strategies to share. My approach is to empower, not to tell you what to do.

Building connections with ourselves and others is one of the most important components of a fulfilling life. However, negative messages from the world and our past experiences/ traumas can often make us feel like we are not good enough. This negative self-talk and self-doubt can make it difficult to form meaningful connections and enjoy life the way we want to, leaving us feeling overwhelmed, anxious, confused, or stuck.

If you are on this page, you may feel alone or like your voice is unheard by those around you. Maybe you are at a crossroads in your life or looking to make a change. As a queer and trans Indian individual who grew up in Texas, I understand what it can be like to feel invisible and unheard. I believe we all have a voice worth hearing and a story worth telling, and I am here to support you as you work toward your goals, however big or small. Because each of us is unique in our strengths and struggles, I take a person-centred and intersectional approach, drawing from narrative therapy, relational-cultural theory, and mindfulness.

I most often work with neurodivergence (ADHD), anxiety, spirituality, life transitions, identity struggles, relationship issues, chronic pain and queer folks. I deeply consider your unique experiences in order to support you, reduce harm, improve confidence, and fine more calm. I practice from a somatic perspective and often look to art for somatic processing. I support clients in finding and understanding their identity and their goals while facilitating action towards self-compassion, gratitude and love. I emphasize a harm-reduction approach to all models of therapy.

I am offering sessions both in person and on line as per your preference.
Psychotherapy can help when: a life issue causes heartache, you want to improve yourself in some way, or life has become unbearable as it is. Meaningful progress will come from the relationship we will develop, including feeling understood as a unique individual. Feeling accepted for all that you are - both successes and failures - enables you to look at hard-to-face places about yourself, and discover new perspectives. A stronger sense of yourself will develop, and you will make clearer decisions that are right for your particular life. You will come to see yourself differently, and others will experience you differently.
