I was born and raised in New York. As a South Asian American and a child of Indian immigrants, I know there is a stigma around going to therapy, which takes courage. My goal is to change that perspective among many cultures. I’m invested in working with people from different cultural backgrounds and ethnicities. I have over five years of experience working with school-aged children, adolescents, adults, and couples.

Therapy offers a place for exploration and offers a greater depth of understanding of both yourself and your relationships. It is also an avenue to enhance social connections, and a way to set goals and chart a path to achieve them. I work with clients to address any obstacles they may be facing and in helping them to enact a plan to achieve their desired outcomes. This partnership is different from person to person, because it’s about identifying any stumbling blocks clients may be facing and working through them. I value approaching people from a place of curiosity, empathetic understanding, and use a collaborative approach.

“Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.” -Brené Brown. I commend you for taking this step to come to therapy. Let’s travel this road together.

You’re arguing with family and friends more than usual. There have been changes in your life… some expected, others unexpected. You don’t know how to cope. Even when you think you’re doing okay, the memory of a past mistake or situation makes you doubt yourself. Or has your relationship been stuck in a cycle of dysfunction as constant arguments, long stretches of silence where you and your partner go days, or even weeks, without speaking to one another. You’re becoming roommates - simply coexisting in the same space but not really having meaningful interactions.

I am an experienced therapist specializing in issues of depression,phobias,PTSD,anxiety,panic attacks, ADHD, ADD, eating disorders and obsessions.I work particularly well with couple/marital issues,family issues and drug addiction.

Sometimes life throws curves that seem to be insurmountable. Talking with a therapist can help you pay attention to and resolve the conflict that has gotten in the way of you having a more fulfilling life. Problems at work or school, inability to get a good night's rest, overeating are among the issues that you can't see as having you stuck. Depression or anxiety are real issues that must be worked through to get you back on track. Separation and loss are areas that can cause trauma. Trauma can be leaving home to go to college, the loss of a relationship, grief of loosing someone to death. Talking can get you through.

I work comfortably with children, adolescents and adults. Offering them a comfortable, safe and non-judgemental environment. Therapy starts when a person picks up the phone to make their first appointment and he/or she states to the therapist their presenting problem, that single action takes a brave soul to announce out loud to a total stranger their problem. I honor that person and their strength. I am a eclectic therapist with a broad knowledge of expertise. Using the best therapy modality that will best fit my clients needs, so that they may reach their goals and decrease their stress and anxiety.

It takes true courage to share a story that contains a history of struggle or abuse. Have you found yourself overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed and want to better understand the triggers? Have you tried to ignore relationship or professional struggles in hopes they would eventually disappear? Have you reflected on past pain, and worry you are overreacting, won’t be believed, or are at fault? Perhaps you’ve achieved those goals related to wealth, fame and success, only to find your “perfect” life does not bring the satisfaction you anticipated. The old strategies no longer serve you, and now you need to try something new.

Have you been feeling anxious or depressed? Has past trauma negatively affected your daily life and ability to function? If so, you are in the right place. I am licensed clinical social worker who is dedicated to helping my patients cope with life challenges. My specialties are trauma, grief, PTSD and anxiety. I take a psychodynamic and trauma-informed approach while utilizing behavioral techniques such as CBT and mindfulness.
