My clients have "done therapy before" but come to me saying they didn't feel seen, heard, understood and keep falling in patterns of chronic stress, panic, sleeplessness, relationship issues, people pleasing, or a loss of direction. I get it, you're tired of running around in what I call "therapy circles". What you truly want is rest, safety, feeling like you're enough, and a way to live with more ease and self-confidence. If you're ready to make change happen, healing is possible, and there is a way forward with the right mind-body approaches.
I specialize in reading systemic harms and traumas on the minds and bodies of high-achieving BIPOC professionals in Virginia. Through integrating advanced training in Somatic Experiencing, IFS, Family Constellation and attachment therapies with lifestyle changes like nutrition for mental health and sleep, many of my clients find the resolution they came for.
You’ve carried so much for so long. If you’re ready to stop holding everything alone and begin healing in a deeper, more sustainable way, I’d be honored to support you. This isn’t therapy that asks you to shrink — it’s therapy that helps you find your voice, your wisdom, and come home to yourself. Welcome to Jiva जीव Wellness.

I help adults navigate and find healing from chronic stress, burnout, sleep issues, self-worth struggles, and anxiety by addressing relational/attachment and generational/systemic trauma. Using Somatic, IFS, depth-based and integrative therapies, we build nervous system regulation, awareness, clarity, and lasting change. Many clients begin to feel a meaningful shift in 8-10 sessions.
