I believe that everyone should be able to live their lives to the fullest. For many, there is something that gets in the way. I would like the opportunity to help you learn how to create an adventure worth living. I have experience helping adults, adolescents, and children make changes in their lives.

I believe in incorporating a positive psychological and holistic approach to the individuals I serve. By incorporating an overall wellness and "whole mind/body" approach with individuals, I believe each person can get the best out of themselves through mental health therapy. I utilize evidenced based clinical counseling techniques such as ACT, Mindfulness, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and a variety of sport counseling/psychology modalities into practice. Lastly, I take an individual approach to every person I treat, knowing that every person is different and deserves authentic, genuine, and exceptional mental health care.

My goal is to help you, your relationship, or your family flourish. When you come in to see me you'll find a compassionate ear to share your story with, as well as the expertise of a trained marriage and family therapist to guide your life or relationship back on course. You don't go through life just to be plagued by anxiety, depression, or some other disorder, just like no one gets married so they can get divorced. You don't have to go through life with those struggles. Let me meet you where you are and together we can uncover your best self.

I have a particular passion for helping people of all ages overcome the stigma that our families or society have put on us to “walk it off”. As a South-Asian immigrant and a New Yorker that grew up in the 80s, I’ve lived through lots of changes and challenges, but I’ve also learned how resilient humans can be. I love helping parents and kids face life challenges like anxiety, depression, or even to answer complex life questions like “what does it mean to be a man in today’s world?” or "why is my child behaving this way?". I’ve worked extensively with kids who have endured severe trauma of all kinds.

You might wonder if hypnotherapy is available in the midst of a pandemic - when all the therapists have switched to telehealth platforms. Yes, it is! We simply must plan carefully, so that the process remains safe and comfortable. While everyone's reaction to hypnosis is unique and personal - it has a potential of effecting powerful change for you. You can begin to face what you've been avoiding - and do so with more confidence. I strive to make your sessions productive, so that you make the progress you want. It's a big decision to start therapy - so don't hesitate to ask questions up front.

Everyone needs a safe space to be able to talk about mental & emotional distress.

Though trauma is my specialty, I welcome clients with a variety of concerns and problems. Creating a supportive and trusted relationship with clients is my priority.
