You may find yourself feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns that are hard to explain, or wondering why things still feel heavy despite your efforts to move forward. With an MD from the Mayo Clinic School of Health Sciences, I bring both clinical expertise and a deeply human perspective to understanding these experiences. Growing up between India and the Pacific Northwest, I draw on a broad cultural lens to help make sense of how your background and relationships shape how you feel today.
As a Psychiatrist, certified through the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, I integrate psychodynamic therapy, CBT, and interpersonal therapy to explore both the roots of your struggles and the patterns that keep them going. I also offer medication management when it can support greater stability and relief, for a more comprehensive approach.
Taking the first step can feel difficult, especially when you’ve been carrying so much on your own. If you’re ready to better understand yourself and move toward a more grounded and fulfilling life, I invite you to reach out and begin this process together.
