I specialize in working with individuals navigating anxiety, disorganized attachment, relationship challenges, and identity development, especially within the context of South Asian, immigrant, and collectivist cultural dynamics.
Life can feel especially heavy right now. Many people are navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship tension, identity questions, and the pressure to keep moving forward in a world that feels demanding and uncertain. These struggles often show up during periods of transition, especially when you’re redefining a sense of self in a new stage of life. This weight is frequently compounded by cultural expectations, intergenerational pressure, and the ongoing negotiation between personal needs and family or community roles. I work with individuals and couples who feel overwhelmed, pulled in different directions and seek emotional clarity.

Do you feel unheard or unappreciated, carrying heavy burdens, or find your relationships strained by overwhelming emotions? Clients seek counseling for many reasons. Some need a safe, supportive space to be heard when they lack that elsewhere. While friends and family can offer care, they may not provide the professional help or treatment needed. Others struggle to express their thoughts or feel lost and need guidance. I believe that everyone deserves a place where they feel understood and cared for, and I’m here to listen and support your growth.

We'll explore, process and identify strategies to address stress and distress related to habits, experiences or relationships that inform your mood, behavior, functioning, cognitive and relational patterns. I work with teenagers and adults to manage the psychological impact of illness, grief and loss, executive functioning, transitions, family-of-origin difficulties, anxiety, school/work stress, cultural identity, depression, substance use and PTSD. I use therapeutic frameworks based on clients' need to decrease negative thoughts and undesired behaviors and increase distress tolerance; improve communication effectiveness.

Hey there! I’m so glad you’re here. Seeking out therapy shows a brave desire to explore, confront, heal, and grow — and you're so worthy of finding a safe person who can facilitate that for you. I use a holistic, person-centered approach to connect with individuals, couples, and families ages 10+. I aim to show up authentically in therapy (in the hopes that you will too!) and adapt it so that we can empower your inner voice and work toward forming healthy connections with those around us. I also specialize in culturally responsive therapy and working with those who are people of color, LGBTQ+, or children of immigrants.

I work with individuals across all ages, as well as couples and families, and I hold space for the complex, the messy, the in-between. You might be carrying grief, rage, confusion, shame or simply the exhaustion of having to explain yourself all the time! Here, you don’t have to. You can show up as you are: no code-switching, no shrinking!

As an Asian woman with a multicultural background, I understand how cultural expectations, identity, and systemic pressures shape mental health and make it harder to ask for help.
I take a trauma-informed, collaborative approach and specialize in ERP for OCD, ACT, and Brainspotting. Together, we reduce anxiety and compulsive patterns while addressing deeper emotional wounds—often without relying solely on verbal processing.

My goal is to provide you with a safe and non-judgmental space to be open and vulnerable. I want to help you feel empowered and to celebrate each step in becoming the best version of yourself!

We get to know the whole person; Instead of seeing problems to fix, we see people in need of remembering they are already whole.
Off of this assumption, we work together: starting where you are at, to help you get where you're going. I am a warm, compassionate, trauma focused therapist who will accept all of your parts, even when you have trouble liking some parts of yourself.

Clients come to counseling for various reasons. In my experience with the clients, some of them just needed time and space for them to be heard because they did not have that resource with others in their life. Their friends and family could be great support but couldn’t necessarily offer professional help such as treatment. Some people, including myself, may struggle with things they are not able to express clearly. Some may be just confused about life and need some coaching from the counselors.

I also work well with Asian-Americans and other racial minorities.
The first steps to a counseling session can be scary, but it is also a courageous act in understanding yourself and living a more engaging life. My philosophy in providing care has always been "helping others help themselves." I believe that each individual has the ability to change and grow in their journey. In sessions I provide a safe, compassionate, and collaborative space. I will also acknowledge that our world is vastly different and more chaotic than it was a few years ago - political discourse, racial injustice, climate change - and I will do my best to offer you some direction in these collective struggles.

And, as a biracial ( Asian/White) therapist, I also understand the complexities of identity for biracial and multiracial individuals and am passionate about providing a supportive space to explore these experiences.
I believe therapy should be a collaborative experience—you're the expert on your own life, and my role is to support and guide you toward meaningful growth. My approach is person-centered and integrative, tailoring tools and techniques to fit your unique needs. I often incorporate evidence-based modalities like CBT, ACT, and EMDR.

I work with adults and couples who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. Many of the people I see are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, or major life transitions. Others come in simply knowing something isn’t working the way they want it to—emotionally, relationally, or personally—and are ready for change.

As a neurodivergent, Transgender, biracial person of East Asian descent, I’ve had to go through many changes myself.
There are many kinds of truth out there, like truths in research and truths in science. But the most important truth is the one in you. Your lived experiences, your identities, and your feelings are the always the expert. What does it mean to live in that truth and become the most authentic version of yourself? My job is to help you answer that question.

You might be feeling overwhelmed by school, anxious about the future, questioning your identity, or simply seeking more clarity and connection in your life. Whatever brings you here, know that you don’t have to navigate it alone. I work with individuals who are curious about themselves and open to growth. Therapy should be a nonjudgmental, collaborative space. My goal is to follow your lead and co-create a space where you feel safe to explore, reflect, and understand who you are and what you need.

Men and women who are African-American/black, Latinx, Middle Eastern, Asian, and from other racial and ethnic backgrounds work with me to use CBT, DBT, attachment, compassion-focused, solution-based, strength-based, trauma-focused and other therapies to prevent or treat mental health disorders caused by relationships, caretaking, work, grief, self-worth, infidelity, illness, transitions and more.
I take a holistic, developmentally informed approach, addressing the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Together, we identify triggers for distress, explore how past experiences influence the present, strengthen emotional regulation, uncover relationship dynamics, and examine behavioral patterns. By understanding the purpose and function of these patterns, we develop and implement practical skills and strategies to manage or reduce the impact of anxiety, depression, betrayal, grief, trauma, bipolar disorder and challenges related to identity, roles/responsibilities, impulsivity, addictive behaviors, relationships, and transitions.

As the daughter of South Asian immigrants, I understand the struggle that comes from navigating multicultural norms and creating a blended identity.
Raise your hand if you grew up hearing: “We don’t do that in this family/culture,” “Mental health issues are just laziness,” or “You are fine, stop being dramatic.” I can assure that your feelings are valid!
My name is Prav and I am so proud of you for taking the first step towards recovery and living your best life. It takes an immense amount of courage to admit to needing help and I thank you for taking time to take care of yourself!
I believe that all achievements, no matter the size, deserve to be celebrated. I tend to use a more casual tone and love incorporating humor into my work, and can become serious when appropriate.
