I understand that healing is not linear and that life’s transitions, traumas, and relational wounds shape how we move through the world. In therapy, we will work together to deepen your understanding of who you are, explore the relationships that support or challenge your wellbeing, and build clarity around the life you want to create. I work with both individuals and couples, and my hope is to help you heal, confront the parts of your story that feel heavy, and empower you to reclaim meaning and agency. As a South Asian woman, I understand the complexities of navigating identity, cultural expectations, and family dynamics.

I practice psychodynamic psychotherapy and have worked with adults affected by persistent mental illness, young adults who received political asylum in the U.S. as survivors of torture and individuals and couples managing life challenges and transitions. I earned a Masters degree in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago and completed post- graduate training at the Institute for Clinical Social Work. I bring prior professional experience as a teacher who worked closely with undergraduate students on finding their own voice.

It's great you've taken this step. My practice recognizes the normal challenges we face as circumstances change throughout our lifespans. Childhood through Adolescence; School Issues; Marriage, Family and Aging.

Many of my clients come to therapy feeling weighed down by emotions that seem too heavy to carry alone. They may be grieving a loss, healing from trauma, or struggling to manage the demands of multiple identities and roles. Whether you’re an adult or teen, you may long to feel calmer, more connected, and more in control of your emotions. Therapy offers a place to rebuild trust in yourself, honor what you’ve endured, and create space for growth and self-compassion.

I have more than 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression or emotional trauma. I also have experience with older adults struggling with illness or loss.
I work from a psychodynamic model, but use many other modalities depending on the needs of the client. I often use journaling, art work or other creative methods to help clients express difficult or painful feelings.
I have extensive experience in both children's and adult hospital settings helping clients cope with chronic illness or other emotional issues.

People are often more resilient than they realize. Still, life can feel overwhelming—especially when coping with anxiety, trauma, burnout, parenting stress, or major life transitions.
I provide a safe, compassionate space to help you manage stress, regulate emotions, and navigate challenges with greater clarity and confidence. Many people I work with feel stuck in survival mode, emotionally exhausted, or unsure how to move forward after prolonged stress or difficult experiences.

I work with individuals, couples and families who want to feel more fulfilled and connected. During the therapeutic process, I primarily help adults and older adolescents with challenges associated with anxiety, depression, trauma, relational stress, life transitions, boundary issues, shame and perfectionism.

With over 30 years of experience, my private practice focuses on working with adults who experience anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, grief and loss, loneliness and who are going through a life transition. Having these barriers often prevent people from having meaningful and fulfilled lives. My clients have successfully learned to be calm, to become "unstuck" and feel confident about their capabilities and to improve their relationships with others. As a result, they have been able to manage their worries, sadness, anger, resentment, guilt, helplessness and the uncertainty of life challenges.

You’ve done the talk therapy. You’ve repeated the words many times. You’ve spent a long time moving through life on autopilot, responding to what’s expected of you, but something deeper still needs to be seen, felt, moved, and heard. If you're looking for a healing space that respects the wisdom of your body, spirit, and heritage, welcome.
As a Desi-American woman and a trauma-informed art therapist, I combine art-making, somatics, movement, ancestral connection, and spirituality in the healing process. I believe that healing is not only cognitive; it is also emotional, embodied, and deeply connected to culture and authenticity.

Life can feel overwhelming during times of change, especially when you’re carrying cultural expectations, self-doubt, or pressure to succeed.

Whether you’re navigating intergenerational family dynamics, working through self-esteem challenges, or feeling burned out from high achievement or competitive sports, therapy can offer a supportive space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself.

*Currently accepting new clients, including late afternoon hours* Are you feeling anxious, sad, or depressed? Perhaps experiencing fears, flashbacks, or just a nervous or heavy sensation? Perhaps you just need an empathetic, listening ear? There is hope! I work together with my clients in a calm, non-judgmental, refreshing manner, identifying the source of the concerns, and then together attempting to clear it out from the source. The goal is often not just to manage symptoms, rather to completely eliminate them. I utilize a variety of models customized to the needs of each unique individual.
