You may look like you’re managing well on the outside, but inside feel anxious, overwhelmed, burned out, or emotionally exhausted. Many of the adults I work with are professionals, caregivers, or high-responsibility individuals who are used to holding everything together for others while quietly struggling themselves. The pressure to perform, stay composed, and meet expectations can be constant, leaving little space to rest, reflect, or tend to your own emotional needs.
I offer in-person therapy in Ventura, CA, as well as online therapy throughout California, for adults navigating anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, relationship stress, and life transitions. Therapy with me is a grounded space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and build steadiness without pressure to perform.
My approach is mindfulness-based with a focus on nervous system regulation and insight-oriented work. I integrate mindfulness and body-based practices alongside evidence-based tools when helpful. As a first-generation South Asian therapist, I bring particular depth working with Indian and first-generation adults, while welcoming clients from all backgrounds
