I am supervised by Dr. Rachita Sharma LPC-S. I focus on supporting individuals experiencing mood or anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorders, and substance use or behavioral addictions such as obsessive compulsive disorders or lower risk eating disorders. I also connect with those who are children of immigrant parents experiencing "third culture". A Certified Addictions Counselor and Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC)- with CRC, we explore returning to work with a disability, finding employment that gives you purpose, or transitioning into a role that is more in alignment with your goals, interests, and abilities.
An EMDR trained therapist who builds a genuine collaborative relationship and meaningful change. I have over 5 years experience with a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), harm reduction, and somatic experiencing.

My work is rooted in authenticity and a deep respect for each person’s lived experience. Together, we will explore what aligns best with you and your goals as you continue to move through this life's twists and turns. Everyone is welcome here.

While I mostly blend various modalities, I strongly lean towards a strength-based DBT approach. I love to incorporate experiential aspects in sessions that can support in building long term skills and resilience outside of the session. Each therapeutic approach can offer a different lens to look through, you and I will explore what you are looking to gain from therapy and adjust as needed.
