Feeling stuck in grief, illness, burnout, or existential dread? You’re not alone. Unresolved emotions and unconscious patterns can keep you trapped in cycles of pain and disconnection. Depth psychotherapy goes beyond symptom relief—it uncovers the root causes of your struggles, helping you heal past wounds, process deep emotions, and reconnect with your true self. Through this transformative process, pain becomes growth, isolation turns into connection, and self-doubt shifts to clarity. Together, we’ll create lasting change so you can live with greater meaning, resilience, and self-acceptance.

I work with individuals and couples in any stage of relationship. If we work together, my goal is to help you access and understand the root causes of your struggles so you can truly heal. In my experience, when the origin of conditioned thoughts, feelings and behaviors are fully felt and understood, they no longer have power, can be let go, and in their place comes a sense of freedom, choice and empowerment. Whether you struggle to manage stress, anxiety, and/or depression, or have found the goal of creating a satisfying relationship or career to be elusive, I believe you can move past any limitations with the right help.

I have over 20 years of clinical experience and have come to believe that fostering a trusting and compassionate therapeutic relationship can help us feel empowered and confident in our own healthy sense of self. As a South Asian/Indian woman who identifies as a person of color and within the LGBTQIA+ community, I recognize a need for folks to have a therapist who understands these issues. My approach is collaborative, client-centered, strength-based, and solution-focused. Mazu Master, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)

As your therapist, I create an experience tailored to your individualized needs and goals. We won't stick to a template, we’ll identify how to ensure you feel most comfortable expressing yourself. Therapy can deepen your awareness—which could mean rediscovering parts of your self, gaining perspectives, or taking a new approach to feelings that don't fit easily into your day-to-day life. We'll work to expand your understanding of the unique factors that influence your relationships and behaviors: your strengths, values, intuition, and emotions. Beyond insight, we'll scaffold and practice how to take actions that represent those.
