As a sports counselor and former athlete, I specialize in improving mental health and providing emotional support for athletes as well as addressing the challenges of life and how they are connected to hardships related to sport. You might be navigating the difficulties of youth sport, balancing life as a collegiate or high school student-athlete, or facing the unique trials of an olympian or professional athlete. I’m here to help process your story while working with you through the many challenges that life and athletics has in store.

As a Child and Family Therapist and Registered Yoga and Mindfulness Instructor, I am committed to providing you and your family with a fun and integrative approach to counseling. We live in a fast-paced culture with countless to-do lists and often feel burdened by our schedules. Children are not much different and feel stress related to school, peer and family relationships and extra-curricular activities. However, children are not developmentally or emotionally prepared to manage this type of stress.

If any of this resonates with you, know you are not alone and we can move out of the darkness towards healing and light together.

IFS Therapy: I've had the privilege of working with hundreds of clients over the past 30 years, providing a safe sanctuary where they learn to trust their inner quiet wisdom that can heal deep childhood wounds. It's a delight to witness clients reclaiming the open-hearted spontaneity that results from releasing painful emotions and limiting beliefs they may have held for decades. . . . . . I would be honored to accompany you on that unfolding journey. To quote Deepak Chopra: “Every time you are tempted to react in the same old way, ask if you want to be a prisoner of the past or a pioneer of the future.”

If you are struggling with the relentless judgments of a strong inner critic, repeating the same unsatisfying relationship dynamics, feeling cut off from your creativity or distracted from your true passions, or frustrated by an inability to change negative habits and behaviors, perhaps you just haven't connected to the right inner resources yet. I believe I can help you do this.

Do you struggle with friendships, relationships, family members or colleagues? Did you grow up in a dysfunctional home? Were you raised by a parent who was emotionally immature? Maybe your caregiver had a mental illness that you helped your family navigate? Maybe you are looking for a therapist who can work with you both individually and with your partner or family member. If this sounds like you, I may be able to help. I specialize in couples therapy and the adult children of difficult families. Sometimes we don’t realize our family was dysfunctional until talking with a therapist. I’m happy to explore this with you in our consult.

What have you done for you lately? Are you the type of person constantly doing things for everyone else, leaving little to no time for yourself? If you really want to live your best and most authentic life, you have to make your own self your number one priority. You may feel selfish or guilty by putting yourself and your needs first, but there is a reason flight attendants say to secure your oxygen mask first before assisting others. My passion is to empower diverse individuals to achieve their optimal mental wellness. As Brene Brown says, "When we have the courage to walk into our story and own it, we get to write the ending."

I believe that each of us is capable, sometimes with a little assistance, of making our own best decisions, and that each of us is responsible for our own path in life. This means that as a counselor, I work closely with my clients to decide on the best course of therapy. My work focuses on helping people free themselves from pain and the feeling of being "stuck" that keeps them from moving in a forward direction.

To lose faith in yourself, the future, the healing force of the human spirit is a terrible tragedy. In my work with adolescents and adults, our task is to re-ignite that vital life force. Through reexamining the past we remove old blocks, make sense of today's issues and work through self-destructive patterns. My training in Humanistic Psychotherapy and Jungian studies,EMDR, Family Systems Theory and Focusing enable me to draw from a wide range of interventions and interpretations. I also have worked extensively in the realm of addictions and eating disorders using a 12 step model.

Welcome! I believe every person has an intrinsic inner light and a lifelong capacity to evolve. As a therapist, I am passionate about helping you recognize and harness your unique gifts to create meaningful growth within yourself and your most important relationships. With curiosity, compassion, and gentle playfulness, we deepen awareness of habitual thoughts and behaviors that hold you back from your goals. Using these insights, we identify action steps that will allow you to live and relate with greater intention, confidence, and joy.

If you are tired of struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, a lack of confidence or anything else that is getting in the way of you living your best life, I am here to help. I walk along side my clients and help them to align to who they want to be while providing a welcoming and warm environment. I know it can be scary to take that first step to reach out but just know I'll be on the other side ready to help.

As first generation to Indian parents, I saw my parents struggle with cultural differences. They were raised with similar upbringings; however, their beliefs about relationships were starkly different. I never witnessed them talking about their struggles, but rather, they seemed to view their relationship as what was to be expected. Witnessing this relationship dynamic taught me the importance of bringing differences to the forefront. We get so many messages about who we are supposed to be from family, friends, and society. Relationships bring two people with multi-faceted identities together, therefore, it's only natural for relationship issues to arise.
