I work with adults of all ages, and see therapy as a collaborative process shaped by your goals. My style is warm, flexible, and grounded in curiosity. I draw from approaches like CBT, DBT, solution-focused, and narrative therapy to support you in a way that feels meaningful and useful.

All of our behaviors are adaptive, even the ones we wish to change. There was likely a time and place that even the most pesky of habits helped to protect or get you through difficult times. We will explore the "when" and "why" of your past parts as we work to create change in the here and now. I appreciate life can be difficult, relationships overwhelming, and decision-making about major transitions both exciting and paralyzing. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress from work, relationship problems, or finding your voice, we can work towards your goals together..

You might look successful on paper and still feel like you’re one misstep away from letting everyone down. You learned early that being exceptional, self-sufficient, or agreeable was how you stayed safe. Over time, that survival strategy turns into anxiety, burnout, and never feeling “enough.”
I work with individuals who are done performing and ready to deal with what’s actually underneath.

Talking does help! The main focus of my therapeutic practice has been to encourage people to talk openly about themselves in a comfortable and accepting space. Those who have seriously accepted this invitation have benefited from their self-discoveries, and the subsequent personal adjustments and changes that have come about. Personal growth is not easily achieved or sustained, but it is necessary for nurturing a fulfilled life!

I believe healing happens as we experience healing relationships. In our time together, we will work to build trust amongst us to help you transform. The therapeutic process can be a mirror for how you show up for yourself and navigate your personal relationships — as we build safety and capacity in the therapy room, you will simultaneously realize that you hold much more safety and capacity within yourself. As an Indian-American therapist, I welcome discussions around intersectionality, identity, and how our difference/sameness affects our therapeutic relationship.

For over 20 years, I’ve supported people from many different backgrounds through life’s changes and challenges. I understand how overwhelming it can feel to juggle work, family, relationships, identity, and self-worth—especially in today’s climate.
Therapy can be a place to find balance, grounding, and relief from uncertainty.
If you’re looking to explore trauma, its impact, and ways to move through it, I bring specialized training in EMDR (a trauma-focused therapy), Gestalt (a mind–body approach), and CBT/DBT (to build self-regulation, mindfulness, and healthier beliefs about yourself).

I specialize in working with individuals who feel stuck, burned out, anxious, or disconnected. Many are navigating demanding careers or academics, performance pressure, leadership roles, relationships, parenting, addiction recovery, or major life transitions. They are often highly capable, yet feel overwhelmed or unsure of their next steps. My clients seek clarity, practical tools, and direct feedback to reduce anxiety, break unhelpful patterns, strengthen relationships, and make confident decisions aligned with their values. They come to therapy ready for meaningful, lasting change.

My ideal clients are ambitious adults who feel plateaued or stuck in their work, relationships, or healing journey. On the surface life looks solid, but anxiety killing your focus, old wounds are draining your energy, and your childhood keeps showing up in your relationships. At the same time you're struggling with perfectionism, people pleasing or imposter syndrome. You’ve come far on talent and drive, but the strategies that you've used to protect and propel you are now holding you back. You always say it, but everything's not ok.

Thank you for your consideration with allowing me to assist you with your therapy needs. I am a Limited License Marriage and Family Therapist as well as a Certified Advance Alcohol and Drug Counselor with a Development Plan. I can relate to the trials and tribulations of being a single parent, as I was one myself. I am a caring, empathetic, compassionate listener that is non-judgmental, who listens to what you say. I believe every individual deserves therapy sessions specifically designed for that individual only. I try to keep sessions fresh, exciting, fun, while yet informative.

Many of my clients are people you wouldn't look at and think they need therapy. They're capable, accomplished professionals whose lives look like the goal from the outside. But inside, there's a persistent feeling of not being enough, no matter the evidence to the contrary. A quiet fear that the competence is somehow performed, and that people around them would be surprised if they could see what it actually feels like on the inside. If that resonates, you're not broken. You're someone who has been carrying something heavy for a long time, often alone, and often while making it look easy.

My philosophy is to work with patients on a short-term and goal-oriented manner so you can improve your functioning, comfort, and happiness as soon as possible. Every person is different, and I tailor my approach to each patient to find what works for them. I am very interactive and dynamic in my approach, and look at each individual patient (or organization) for their specific needs. I work on providing every individual patient (or business) with a useful, meaningful, and results-oriented learning experience.

You’ve lived your life, and you know what’s worked and what hasn’t. My role is to meet you where you are. Life is complex, and no single approach works for everyone—which is why the relationship between you and your therapist is so essential. Using a Rogerian, client-centered approach, I provide a nonjudgmental, safe, and supportive space where you feel heard and accepted. Together, we’ll explore your experiences, understand what they mean to you, and build the skills you need to reach your goals.

Once a skeptic, I discovered how much therapy can improve both personal and professional life when I learned to trust the process and invest in myself. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Domestic Violence Specialist with a master’s in Counselor Education. I work with depression, anxiety, domestic violence, life transitions, adjustment issues, and challenging adolescent behaviors, supporting both civilian and military families.

Starting therapy can be a challenging process.

I have additional expertise in working with family members of individuals with serious mental illness, as well as people who identify as LGBTQIA+.
