I am offering Televirtual therapy through Zoom and/or Phone. Life is a complex journey! Difficult events can lead to emotional pain, stress, and feelings of isolation not knowing what to do. When frustrated, or feeling out of control, a skillful therapist can walk you through a positive transformation. In this case, therapy is a solution in overcoming life challenges. Together we can pave the way towards reaching a positive and a better place where you can live life to the fullest, with greater personal awareness and personal growth while developing insight leading to a more peaceful life.
As a social worker/therapist I have thirty years of experience working within community and health care settings. My therapeutic work has largely been focused on working with individuals, older adults, and couples dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, loss, stress, self-esteem, trauma, intergeneration conflict, violence, and childhood sexual abuse.
My personal approach is non-judgmental, open, empathetic, and interactive, with specialized techniques leading to deep healing and transformation. I am equipped to work with culturally and linguistically diverse populations of all ages. I speak English, Gujarati, Kacchi, and Hindi.
