Guided by a strengths-based and client-centered philosophy, I believe in the inherent capacity of every individual to navigate their life journey with resilience and empowerment. My therapeutic style is marked by its accepting, directive, humorous, and empowering nature. My passion lies in working with both couples and individuals, as I recognize that cultivating healthy relationships, in all aspects of life, is a cornerstone of personal well-being. As a South Asian therapist, I am also driven to normalize therapy within my community, advocating for the power of open communication and shared experiences.

Were you the kid who was always in trouble at school for talking too much or not turning in homework? Are you struggling to stay on track in college or your career? Are things you want to complete get lost in the mess of distractions? Do you find yourself just staring at your computer not knowing where or how to start? You are NOT a failure! It’s easy to keep repeating the cycles of shame and guilt, but you know that isn’t getting you anywhere. You can build the skills you need to feel confident in yourself and get things done!

Are you looking for a therapist that specializes in relationships, whether romantic or friendship, and the ups and downs you go through? Are you looking for more connection and more meaningful relationships in your life, but frustrated, anxious or confused when triggered by hurt or disappointment from another? Then I would love to help you and your loved one reestablish connection again.

You don’t have to hold it all together here. Many of my clients show up feeling like they should be able to manage it all—relationships, work, recovery, family dynamics, perfectionism—and yet something still feels heavy, stuck, or overwhelming. You might be navigating a life transition, trying to heal from a difficult past, or noticing patterns in your relationships that feel hard to break. You want relief, clarity, and maybe more than anything—you want to feel like yourself again (or maybe for the first time). I work with adults and couples navigating identity, recovery, anxiety, and relationship challenges.

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.

Many of the clients that I have worked with during the past 27 years have faced stressful life events that have triggered anxiety, depression, and anger. Frequently, these feelings have begun to significantly interfere with relationships, work, and overall sense of self. I provide a safe and respectful relationship that promotes courage and strength to confront and work through these difficult feelings and experiences. By talking with a caring and trained professional, my clients are able to develop new perspectives about themselves and their concerns and this allows them to approach life with increased hope and enjoyment.

Hi, I'm Tony! I like to work with clients who want to investigate who they truly are, within contexts that feel high-pressure. As a therapist, my style is gregarious, direct, and exploratory.
My job as a mental health provider is to give you fresh ideas based on mental health data, professional experience, and pattern recognition. I am not a blank slate, and clients describe my style as "conversational" and "like talking to a normal person". Your job as the client is to think critically and determine what fits you!

A safe space to find your voice: Helping you move through pain, self-doubt, and life transitions toward healing and self-compassion.
As adults, we juggle so much — work, relationships, family, and the weight of our own expectations. It’s no wonder you might feel stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed at times. I work with adults navigating depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, identity questions, life transitions, and the stress of caregiving or parenting.
As your therapist it is an honor to walk side by side in your journey.

I treat people who struggle with a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, eating problems, relationship concerns, and school and career difficulties. More generally, I work with clients who suffer from an inability to live life to its fullest and who want a more enriching life. People who wonder why they do the things they do, or who can't seem to do the things they want to do, are well suited for my psychoanalytic approach.

Our world is changing at such a rapid pace. You may feel it's difficult to cope with all these shifts in your life, and to keep up with daily routines. We have all been through a huge upheaval the past several years. Are you looking for a safe, non-judgmental place to process some of these challenges? Or maybe you need some tools and resources to help you (or a loved one) manage anxiety, stress or trauma. Maybe your child/tween/teen/20 yr old has become surprisingly disagreeable, spending less time with family, pushing you away. You may notice changes in appearance, or name. Whether sudden or gradual, you may not know how to cope.

If you’ve been feeling disconnected from yourself, your relationships, or the life you want to live, you’re not alone. Many clients come in feeling stuck in old stories, questioning their identity, struggling with intimacy, or moving through transitions that shake their sense of direction. You may be navigating anxiety, shame, or patterns that no longer reflect who you’re becoming. My style is warm, curious, and culturally attuned. I work with individuals and couples seeking deeper intimacy, clearer communication, stronger self-understanding, and a life that feels meaningful and truly theirs.

You've been holding a lot- quietly, and carefully! Maybe you’re trying to move through the various challenges along the perinatal period, navigating life between cultures, or facing a transition that’s left you unmoored. I work alongside individuals and couples who are often carrying the invisible weight of cultural expectations, anxiety, self-doubt and are looking for a space where they can feel seen and supported without having to explain the “why.” I offer a warm, culturally attuned space to help you reconnect with yourself and move toward relief, clarity and healing.

I am currently accepting new individual clients both virtually and in-person (The Loop, Chicago). Are you experiencing stress, relationship issues, anxiety, insecurity or a life transition?

In my work with individuals recovering from addictions, eating disorders, co-dependency and trauma, I assess which modality (individual, group psychotherapy or family therapy) will help my clients achieve their goals most effectively. I work with parents in the areas of attachment, financial literacy, discipline, boundary setting & launching as well as, couples who are struggling with infertility.I believe a therapist actively participates in the relationship, in addition to observing the process and offering expertise.
