Therapists in Deer Park, IL

Seeking therapy is a chance to rebuild, strengthen, and change. Therapy can present an immense opportunity for growth; a process allowing you to change how you relate to others, strengthen how you view yourself, and rebuild how you experience life. I take an active approach in the therapy space, in both listening and teaching. Clients can expect to gain knowledge and skills needed to deal with life’s stressors and struggles. The collaborative process can help you identify goals, develop actionable steps, gain curiosity and compassion for your circumstances, and build a healthier relationship with yourself and the life you envision.

As a Neurodivergent South Asian immigrant, I intimately understand the struggles of finding a therapist who will understand having a complex cultural background. Along with this, I have years of practice helping those with disordered eating problems, grief and bereavement, and those struggling with anxiety, depression, or the troubles that come with drastic life changes. I've successfully worked with 16 year-olds and 60 year-olds, and everyone in between. All of the above is to say that if there is something in your life that is upsetting you, I sincerely believe I have the tools to help you overcome it!
