Anand, coined in Eastern Philosophies, embodies human happiness or bliss. Our past experiences can act as barriers to this experience. In therapy, a journey of self-discovery, we co-create a space to unwind your narrative and find healing. I invite you to explore a heightened self-awareness to guide your everyday expierencing. As a guide, I assist with individuals facing grief and loss, anxiety, OCD, depression, life transitions, bipoc/immigrant issues, and trauma/attachment concerns. Together, let’s seek out to discover your definition of Anand—an essence of contentment.

I aim to empower others like me who have constantly heard “it is not okay to go to therapy and share your personal life with anyone,” to help shift this tabooed narrative into a more positive one. It is OKAY to share your personal life with someone who can help build that trusting relationship with you, and it is also okay to express your feelings and emotions without feeling the pressures of shame and guilt. I use the space we create together to encourage deconstructing harmful internalized messages, processing experiences of attachment and trauma, and managing relational and personal challenges.

My therapeutic approach is to meet you where you’re at, work together to determine what best meets your needs, and to collaboratively create a plan that helps you achieve your goals. Growing up in a country where mental health was a developing field, I saw the first-hand effects of an overlooked self. I consider it a privilege to assist you in your reconnection to mind, body, and soul—one therapy session at a time.

You are worthy, unique, and enough! You have the capacity to heal and thrive! An extraordinary and fulfilling life is possible for all of us! At some point, we may all experience pain. Our struggles and “stuckness” are complicated and layered. If you feel stuck and are yearning to be “unstuck,” we can work together. Being stuck can present as lack of meaning, feeling disconnected from yourself, having unfulfilling or unsatisfying relationships, challenges with transitions, deep dilemmas, mood troubles, and constant worry among many others.
