I believe that relationships give life meaning - and when our relationships aren't meeting our needs, we are deeply impacted. I see my role as someone to help facilitate authenticity, safety, and deepness in your connection to others. Whether it is an intimate partner, a family member, or a friend, I'm trained to help you establish connection in the way you both need and desire. And if you are looking for individual help, my aim is to cultivate that same connection - but in relationship to yourself.

My ideal client is someone who feels emotionally overwhelmed often anxious, depressed, or carrying the weight of unresolved trauma but is ready for change. They value privacy and seek discreet, one-on-one therapy where they can be truly themselves without fear of judgment.
They long for an authentic, trusting relationship with a therapist who meets them with compassion and honesty. Their goals often include managing emotions, building confidence, setting boundaries, and creating deeper, more fulfilling connections. They want to feel safe, seen, and supported as they work toward healing and reclaiming their sense of self.

As a therapist, I specialize in helping individuals and couples move through the stuck places — whether it’s the quiet burnout of high-functioning anxiety, the overwhelm of living with ADHD, the weight of depression, or the stress of trying to do everything “right” and still feeling like it’s not enough. I work especially well with individuals who are accustomed to performing at a high level — academically or professionally — often driven by a perfectionist. With couples, I focus on navigating high-conflict dynamics, breakdowns in communication, unequal division of labor, and intimacy challenges.

We all have an inherent ability to heal and grow, and therapy can be a powerful tool in that process. Whether you are struggling to manage recent life changes or heal from past traumas, I will work with you to better understand your internal experience and navigate challenges. I use warmth and authenticity to create an affirming and nonjudgmental space to unpack all the messy, painful, beautiful, and absurd aspects of life. I view myself as a collaborative thought partner, helping people explore new perspectives and possibilities, challenge oppressive narratives and systems, and use their strengths to live more intentionally.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes healing happens through connection—with others, yourself, and your story. Rooted in Relational-Cultural Theory, I see growth as happening in relationships, not isolation. As a bisexual South Asian woman and child of immigrants, I understand the complexity of navigating multiple identities, which informs my approach. I’m passionate about decolonization in therapy, challenging systemic structures that affect mental health. I draw from Narrative Therapy, Adlerian, Psychodynamic, and DBT techniques to help you see yourself through a new lens and feel seen, understood, and empowered.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of psychotherapy experience. I received dual master’s degrees in Social Work and Women’s Studies from Loyola University, Chicago. I previously worked as a hospice and palliative care social worker for 7 years at Midwest Palliative and Hospice CareCenter (now Journeycare) where I provided care for individuals and families coping with with terminal and life limiting illnesses.

In the therapeutic setting, my goal is to provide clients the space to be their most authentic selves. Too often in society, we are forced to wear a façade, or be a fraction of ourselves in any given space, for fear of being “too much” or fear of not being accepted fully. In our sessions, I encourage you to take up space unapologetically. I love being able to help my clients discover their real selves and give them the tools to overcome any obstacles in their journeys towards wellness. I show up to sessions as my authentic self, and I encourage my clients to do the same. The work begins where the masks end.

We live in a stressful, complex, and contradictory world. And though you do your best to cope with the chaos around you, sometimes it gets overwhelming. The chaos can make you question your decisions - sometimes it can even make you question who and how you are. Why are there so many obstacles to the life and relationships you want? Shouldn’t there be a clearer path? It can be so hard to navigate through the noise. Craving to connect more fully but end up feeling needy and more alone. Wanting to feel safe, but unease grows and bleeds through. Striving to be authentic, but there is so much noise it is hard to hear your true self.

I love working with people of all cultures who have histories of trauma and addiction and who want to make pivotal breakthroughs in recovery. I work best with patients who engage honestly, directly and courageously; welcome challenges; and want to thrive. We discover and nurture strengths borne of struggle. I specialize in culturally responsive group treatment of trauma and addiction, relationship issues, family dynamics and multigenerational legacies. I empower patients; we tap into their insight, intellect, creativity and spontaneity. I enthusiastically welcome Black, Brown, Indigenous, and other People of Color to my practice.

I work with couples to manage distress and overwhelm within their relationship. With a balanced perspective, I empower partners to strengthen their connection and deepen intimacy. I am also passionate about supporting individuals through the challenges of the perinatal journey, such as prenatal anxiety, pregnancy loss, infertility and postpartum depression. I work with adults navigating the varied stages of life. Whether it's helping clients cope with trauma, process grief and loss, navigate chronic illness and pain, or address the shadows of depression and anxiety, I consider it a privilege to accompany clients on this journey.

My practice is deeply rooted in liberation and social justice principles, with careful attention to the social, cultural, historical, and political power dynamics that shape our experiences. Through thoughtful dialogue, creative exercises, and motivational interviewing, I support clients in exploring your unique strengths, challenges, patterns, and hopes.

I have a warm, accepting, supportive and understanding style. I believe that it is possible for any of us to get "stuck" in a thought or behavior that does not always suit our best interest. Together we can discover what these are for you, (your relationship, your work life, etc.) and work on ways of approaching and viewing things differently.

I provide individual psychotherapy to Adults, Emerging Adults, and College Students.

My warm, collaborative approach is one that values diversity and honors the individual experiences of those with whom I work. I believe in utilizing your strengths and natural capacity for growth.

Everyone experiences moments in life that feel overwhelming, stressful, or sad. Sometimes, these moments seem to happen with increasing frequency, or we can't seem to find our way out of painful or distressing patterns, despite our best intentions. If this sounds familiar, therapy might be a helpful step for you. I work primarily with adults who are struggling with issues related to mood, anxiety, stress, life transitions and problems in their relationships. I also have significant experience and specialization treating clients who have experienced both chronic and acute trauma, and clients who describe their family or background as chaotic.

You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself or others. Perhaps you’re navigating grief, trauma, relational challenges, or questions of identity and meaning. You may long for a space to slow down, feel seen, and explore what’s beneath the surface. My clients often seek greater clarity, emotional freedom, and depth, not just symptom relief, but real understanding. I bring a culturally attuned and spiritually sensitive lens to therapy, honoring the complexity of each person’s story and background. If you're drawn to therapy as a space to grow, reflect, and reconnect, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative and creative process that unfolds through developing a strong alliance with a therapist. I strive to provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgemental space for people to name, feel, and share their unique experiences. Although it can be difficult to put your emotional life into words, the decision to do so has the power to open up new ways of knowing and understanding yourself. It can also reveal patterns in your life that you might wish to explore in order to create space for more meaningful and satisfying possibilities.

I help people struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship problems, family conflict, identity concerns, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. I believe that lasting change only happens when people feel they're talking to a real person who understands the cultural complexities that make them unique. My work is collaborative and built on the trusting relationships I take time to develop with my clients.

I consider myself to be a trauma-informed therapist. I believe that each experience in one's life leaves an imprint on the mind & body; thus, informing how one responds to the world. There is a rhyme & reason to these responses, and none of it is about being "wrong," "damaged," or "not good enough" (words I often hear from individuals in my practice). The goal of therapy with me is to help you learn to mindfully connect with, soothe and heal these hurting parts, so that you may be able to let go, engage, and thrive in your personal and professional life. I believe healing is possible for anyone willing to work at it.
