Do you struggle with self-doubt and relationships? Do you have difficulty explaining what it's like to navigate between two different cultures or to deal with family of origin issues? Are you simply overwhelmed by society? If your stress manifests as anxiety, perfectionism, depression, or disordered eating, look no further. Together, we'll work towards fostering self-compassion and healthy boundaries, processing and healing the impacts of familial/societal rules, recovering from disordered eating, and more. As a US-born child of South Asian immigrants, I have a special interest in working with young adult children of immigrants.

I am passionate about integrating Health at Every Size with concerns about body image, self-esteem, disordered eating, spirituality, depression, anxiety, and more.
You might be hoping to improve your relationship with food, or to heal from the societal messages you've absorbed about your body, or to simply understand yourself better. I believe that revitalizing our relationship with our bodies and with food is not just a deeply personal and individual journey, but it is also a matter of societal reclamation and community-inspired advocacy. Messages we hear from our families, communities, and media can make us feel disconnected from our physical experience, and in therapy you can work towards regenerating that bond in a way that is empowering and life-changing.

Based on my 25 years of experience, I usually recommend a holistic and objective assessment of the problems as part of the solution. These assessments include understanding, first and foremost, the needs of the individual. These can include anxiety, depression, ADHD, peer issues, family problems, stress, and many other things. I treasure the insight the individuals bring to the conversation with their questions, concerns, observations, and overall experiences. I bring these understandings to my therapy sessions and welcome those involved with the individual to lead the individual towards a more passionate, kind, fulfilling life.

Anxiety Therapists

What are the most common treatments for anxiety?

Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other popular forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.

How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?

The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.

When should I seek treatment for anxiety?

Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.

How effective is treatment for anxiety?

Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
