Are you feeling discontent with your life but uncertain how to find the joy you deserve? It is not uncommon to feel stuck while feeling eager for change. Seeking support is a brave and courageous decision. I am so happy you are here. I work with adults who are struggling with body image issues, disordered eating/eating disorders, ADHD (or presumed ADHD), depression, and grief/loss. A specialty of mine is working with people who live in larger size bodies per American beauty standards using a HAES (health at every size) approach. I truly believe you deserve to feel connected with yourself, your body, your communities, and this earth.

Not accepting new clients
**My practice is currently full and I'm not accepting new clients.** Taking the step to begin counseling requires vulnerability and courage, and you are so brave for being here. You may be feeling overwhelmed, in a challenging relationship, or hoping to find more purpose. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, or perfectionism and want life to feel less challenging. You may have experienced a traumatic event and need someone to help hold your story so you can shift to living in a place of security instead of fear. You want to find meaning, make changes, and need support. We all need that sometimes.

There are times in life when things can feel incredibly hard. Lingering sadness and anxiety can threaten to overwhelm us. Maybe it has been a long time since you remember feeling happy. Trauma and early adversity can take root in our bodies and impact every area of our life. We may also be relying on unhealthy behaviors to cope with our deep unease. If you find yourself feeling stuck in old patterns and are wanting to reclaim more happiness in your life, then therapy can help you find the change you are seeking. My intention is to create a safe, compassionate space to support your journey toward living your best life.

I am a South Asian therapist from India. I deeply understand what it means to be a Woman of Color in White spaces. I am a culturally sensitive & competent therapist who understands and emphasizes the importance of learning your cultural background and how it frames our perspective of the world. I understand that we truly exist through intersections and our identities shape how we "fit in" or "belong". My background stems from Rehabilitation and Counseling as well as working with a First Episode Psychosis clinic. I feel I bring a very rich level of knowledge to patients as they begin their journey to meeting their goals.

Not all therapists are alike and choosing one can be a challenge. Therapists practice in all sorts of ways and use all sorts of methods. I offer talk therapy. It’s just like it sounds. You talk and I listen to you. Essentially, our objective is to study your mind. On your own terms and at your own pace, you offer the study material. I am interested to know what makes you who you are. Hopefully you are interested in that too and if so, we are already on the same wavelength.

Cue the anti depressant commercial with the cartoon figure, the tiny rain cloud, and the narration 'feeling sad, lost, lonely, trouble sleeping, anxious, etc etc?' ..But for real, life can be a real ass kicker sometimes. Or maybe it's been so long, you can't remember the last time you weren't feeling overwhelmed or empty. Either way, whatever your struggles, you don't have to do it alone. And I'm glad you're looking for someone to help you.

You have been trying to find some way to live a meaningful and fulfilling life. You have always experienced life with great depth and thoughtfulness, however, something hasn’t quite clicked yet. You perceive that others seem to have their lives together, although, in all of your rich internal experience, you haven’t been able to, just yet, put all of the pieces together. You may feel alone, experience anxiety, depression, or engage in compulsive behaviors you just can’t manage to quit. Yet, something in you knows that there is a greater world out there, maybe even right around the corner, if you could just get a glimpse of it.

After 30 years of clinical experience with individuals and couples, I believe the process of psychotherapy strengthens relationships with the self and others, enhancing both insight and opportunities for growth. I bring an open mind, respect and practicality to the therapeutic relationship. I am currently offering treatment using teletherapy and in-person sessions. I am an out of network provider but am committed to helping you to receive reimbursement by your insurance and to adjusting the fee if necessary.

Maybe your relationships have been impacted and you're feeling lonely and misunderstood. Or maybe life is feeling purposeless and you are craving more out of your day to day routine. Are you needing support in embracing life and living in the moment, not feeling stuck by your past and not feeling fearful of the future, but truly being present? Are you wanting to increase your self-confidence and feel secure in your decisions?

I believe as humans we must support each other on our life journey. I enjoy helping clients gain a deeper understanding of themselves, their thought patterns and emotions, relationships, and navigate and make sense of their world. I believe that clarifying what is important to each individual, their needs, and their goals, helps provide direction and purpose in life. I often help clients explore how past experiences, family dynamics, addiction, and personality affect how we relate and function in this world. I offer individual, couples, and family sessions.

Life can be extremely difficult creating feelings of discouragement and hopelessness that hinder the ability to see a solution. Perhaps, you have tried so many times you just feel like giving up. You may try to relieve your suffering or intense emotions by using maladaptive coping strategies such as substances, food, sex, or acting in ways that harm yourself or those you care about. These choices may have left you feeling even worse, isolated, and all alone. You may even feel that you do not belong or fit in. You are at the point to where you just want to understand yourself and regain a sense of control in your life.

People who love are people who will inevitably experience loss. We don’t grieve what we don’t love. If you or someone you love is facing a life-limiting/threating illness, or if you are experiencing one of the great losses of your life (a partner, child, sibling, dear friend, your health, your body), you may suddenly feel like a stranger in your own life. Having a trained, experienced, safe, and confidential professional to companion or guide you through this time of loss can be helpful. As Churchill once said, “if you’re going through hell, keep going”; as Cacciatore says, “Grief is energy – you’ve got to move it.”

I am a seasoned, telehealth (or walk and talk) therapist. I graduated from the Marriage and Family track at Portland State University where I was trained in strategies and interventions to support individuals, couples and family's. I believe we develop our relationship strategies and our sense of self at a young age in ways that are adaptive to the world and people around us. Often times, we bring these old adaptive patterns to our adult relationships even when they are no longer serving us. I can help you to recognize and change these old relationship patterns, including your relationship with yourself, that no longer serve you.

Even the most self-aware humans can experience periods of confusion, stuckness, and destabilization, and oftentimes suffering has unconscious roots. I've dedicated my training and education as a helping professional to learn how to unlock messages from the unconscious to promote healing and well-being. I also strive to arm my clients with concrete tools to use independently, long after our work together is completed. I have many years of experience helping people heal, blending a variety of nontraditional and expressive therapeutic approaches with evidence-based interventions to meet the individual needs of the people I serve.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

What type of therapist is right for me?

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
