Relationships are at the heart of our lives—when they feel off, everything else can feel harder. Whether with a partner, parent, child, or yourself, challenges are part of being human. Therapy can help untangle struggles, feel understood, and reconnect with yourself and others. I help individuals, couples, and families through life changes, emotional overwhelm, or feeling stuck. This includes working through conflict, preparing for marriage, improving family communication, or supporting teens and adults with anxiety, low self-esteem, or major transitions.

Therapy is collaborative—your voice guides our work. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help couples deepen emotional connection and resolve conflicts, and the Gottman Method to build communication skills and strengthen relationships. Together, these methods support healing, trust, and lasting connection.

I offer sessions in English, Hindi, and Malayalam, honoring the richness of your culture and experiences. Choosing a therapist is a personal step, and to support you in that, I provide a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit. If you’re ready to explore healing and growth, I warmly invite you to take that first step.
