Teletherapy for California

Do you feel stuck between two or more worlds, unsure of who you are? Or perhaps you feel trapped in the life you’re currently living. Whether that means sharing your hopes and dreams, making needed changes in a relationship, or expressing your sexuality; I help people better understand themselves, and who they really are underneath cultural, social, and other external expectations and pressures. I am an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC) and an EMDR certified therapist who works with adults and adolescents. I work under the direct supervision of Dr. Jessica Borelli.

Welcome! I provide a safe and relaxing place to heal and grow. I use my 23 years of experience to help people who are struggling to make sense of their lives and relationships. I help provide therapeutic environment where you can unleash yourself in discussing your journey for help as you curve through difficulties, while dealing with the brutal, impossible professional demands of Silicon Valley, growing as an individual, creating and recreating relationships, and many life changing events. I provide therapy to deal with issues, conflicts, desires to make changes, self-explorations and many other purposes.

I work with adults, couples and families - and what remains consistent is the thread of hope we each have to be better, to do better, to feel better. We inherently possess that capacity and intensive therapy can bring about positive transformation. Through therapy and assessment I determine strengths, target goals and anticipated challenges. Collaboratively, we create and execute a customized treatment plan.

Psychotherapy is a sacred process where you trust the therapist and make a pact to enter a private world of pain. You're visiting this site and seeking help: I admire that you're acknowledging your needs-this reflects your strength and commitment to yourself. Rather than avoiding, you're confronting stuff--it takes extraordinary courage. We are born resilient, and though we might feel deflated, life cannot knock this resilience out of us. With your resourcefulness, you're looking for a therapist . . . you're reading this sentence, and you're taking the first step . . . congratulations!

Through therapy, I help partners of all diverse backgrounds and orientation move from gridlock by learning healthier communication skills, love languages styles, time-outs and self-soothing strategies to foster an environment of growth towards a meaningful relationship.

It's time- New year, new You. Stressed out & Burned out from everyday life and years of trauma, feels suffocating. Being fed up, defeated, exhausted, & fatigued. There's no place to recharge. It's a struggle of surviving Desi values in an all- American society HECK- being a Desi kid is hard. Adulting, juggling kids, managing parents, and a job is even harder. Life keeps getting harder and you have no choice but to keep going. Feelings of dread keep you up at night, disrupts your work, and destroys your relationships.

I understand relationships are complex and they need to be nurtured. Couples can learn positive interactions and repair past hurts. Therapy helps to improve friendship, deepen emotional connection and creates change which help couples enhance their shared goals.

My hope is to help you heal trauma, manage dissociation, build insight around how your mind works and compassionately transform unhelpful internalized messages. I specialize in working with adults, children and teens.

I am glad you have made it this far on your journey. Typically the clients I work with have had experiences in life that have been traumatic, often early on. They have coped through these but the wounds are not yet fully healed. Those memories hold power over their present and they are seeking a different future where they are feeling lighter, freer, more fully their true selves. They value connection with others and want to process the challenges that keep cropping up. Trauma impacts us in seen and unseen ways, and at certain points in life we hear our inner intuition - the need to feel heard, understood and guided towards healing.

Sometimes it feels like you’re so alone even when surrounded by friends and family. Sometimes it feels like no one understands what you’re going through. Sometimes it’s difficult to get out of bed and even the smallest of tasks seem overwhelming. Sometimes you feel like you want to do something but can’t get the energy to get up and act. Life can be challenging at times, and you no longer have to go through these emotions alone. I’m here to help you find meaning, make sense of what's going on, and work towards your goals.

My hope is that you leave therapy with a new sense of vitality, feeling empowered with a sense of congruency. I want you have an increased awareness and understanding about yourself and feel more interpersonally connected. I will strive to know who you are and how you see the world while we collaborate and work toward healing. We will focus on your emotional experience, honor your multiple identities, be in the moment, learn new skills, and help you "sit in the struggle." Therapy is a brave endeavor, and I will do my best to support this journey.

This may not be an easy time in your life and I respect your courage to reach out for help. Hiding fear of failure or family pressure to be perfect and make it look effortless is a daily struggle. I know you can be overwhelmed. Frustrated and angry. I have lived it and have decades of experience. After facing the pressure from parents, peers, or yourself, you need a place to sort out who you are and how you fit into these pieces. You may be looking for a safe place to work through your challenges, such as when you are experiencing anxiety or depression, or even a unique cultural experience that you feel nobody understands.
