I work with children, teenagers, young adults and families. I help clients struggling with stress and anxiety, challenges with social skills and relationships with others, behavior change, and ADHD and related difficulties. I work primarily with children, adolescents and young adults, as well as offering family therapy. I am trained in several evidence-based practices, with a basis in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I am a former neurodevelopmental assessment psychologist at Boston Children's Hospital, where I was on the faculty at Harvard Medical School. I bring this perspective to all my clients.

I support couples and individuals in nurturing more authentic, collaborative, and empathic relationships. With a touch of humor and a judgment-free mentality, I create a safe and supportive space where clients can engage in deep introspection, build self-compassion, gain new perspectives, and grow in meaningful ways. I believe that every person holds unique strengths and insights that can guide them toward a more fulfilling life, enriched by deep and balanced relationships with themselves and others.

As the founder of ANB Therapy, I specialize in a holistic and culturally attuned approach to mental health, with a focus on supporting South Asian and Asian clients. My Indian heritage, combined with my upbringing in Dubai and my move to New York to earn my Ed.M. and M.A. in Mental Health Counseling from Columbia University, has deeply shaped how I approach therapy. These experiences help me integrate a whole-being approach to wellness that nurtures both the mind and body.

If you are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, or stress, you are not alone. Many adults struggle with difficult thoughts, emotions, and life experiences that can affect relationships, work, and overall well-being. I primarily work with adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, mood disorders, psychotic disorders, stress management, and relationship difficulties. Therapy can provide a space to better understand what you are going through and begin making meaningful changes.

Steps to feeling better includes engaging in a process of self-discovery, learning and growing. Negative patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving are changeable. Some patterns are counter intuitive to living a healthy and happy life. I enjoy guiding clients in their own journey of self-discovery, via identifying barriers and opportunities in reaching personal goals. The therapeutic process is not always a linear path, there are twists and turns. However, there are evidenced-based strategies that can help you. My goal is to present them to you, show you how to use them until one or several provide meaningful results.

There is no problem too big or too small that can’t be improved with another perspective. There is no goal that can’t be reached with hard work, support and humor. In my 10 years as a Social Worker, I have worked with my clients during difficult times, various transitions and everyday life stressors. I also have experience working with individuals with intellectual disabilities, both in their family home and in group home settings.

My ideal clients are teens and adults who feel stuck in patterns that no longer fit and are ready to take responsibility, accountability and move toward meaningful change. Many are navigating ADHD, Autism, anxiety, relational challenges, or internal blocks that keep them from showing up fully in life. They are thoughtful, motivated, and want support that is compassionate, honest, and direct. For teens, I work best with families who want to be actively involved. Meaningful change happens when caregivers are open to learning, reflecting, and making adjustments alongside their teen, rather than expecting therapy to do the work alone.
