"What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" asked the poet, Mary Oliver. I've been thinking about this every day since the first time I read it. It's some question, isn't it? Sometimes it inspires me. Sometimes it frightens me. Since it always challenges me, I've rooted my practice philosophy in it. It's kind of like the adult version of “what do you want to be when you grow up”? How in the world do we answer that?

You’re a pregnant or postpartum woman who looks “fine” on the outside but feels anxious, overwhelmed, or constantly on edge. Your mind won’t slow down, sleep feels elusive, and even joyful moments come with guilt or fear. You may worry you’re doing something wrong, carrying too much responsibility, or failing to enjoy motherhood the way you “should.” What you want most is relief, space to exhale, feel steadier, and trust yourself again.

Therapy for high-functioning anxiety and perfectionism in ambitious professionals navigating major life transitions, including motherhood. On the outside, you may seem capable and put together, while internally you feel anxious, emotionally exhausted, stuck in overthinking, or disconnected from yourself. I work with clients who struggle with burnout, self-trust, people-pleasing, and the pressure to hold everything together. Many people I work with understand their patterns but still feel stuck repeating them. They are ready for therapy that goes beyond analysis and helps create meaningful, lasting change.

After 15 years as a personal trainer and now as a gym owner in the Upper West Side, I witnessed firsthand how much emotional well-being influences physical health.

As an Indian-American who grew up in Europe, I understand the complexities of identity, relationships, and cultural expectations. I am a Northwestern-trained, emotionally focused therapist who works with adults, couples, and teenagers to build stronger, more meaningful connections.
I frequently support couples and families in navigating communication challenges, rebuilding trust, and deeper emotional attunement. Individuals carry the emotional weight of their own past experiences, which can unconsciously impact how they connect with their partners and children. I help individuals recognize and shift these patterns.

FAQ - Miscarriage Counseling
How do I know if I need therapy after pregnancy loss?
Pregnancy loss can bring intense emotional and physical changes. While there is no “right” way to feel afterward, many people experience deep sadness, anxiety, anger, guilt, or numbness. These reactions are common, especially in the days and weeks after a loss. However, if these feelings begin to interfere with daily life, relationships, sleep, work, or your ability to care for yourself, therapy may be helpful. Therapy may also be a good next step if you feel stuck in guilt or self-blame, or if your grief feels overwhelming or prolonged. Most importantly, you do not have to wait for symptoms to feel severe to seek help. Therapy can provide support at any point after pregnancy loss and may also help with related concerns, such as anxiety, depression, relationship stress, or fear about a future pregnancy.
How can therapy help after miscarriage?
Therapy can offer a supportive space to process the grief, shock, anger, guilt, or numbness that may follow a miscarriage. A therapist can help validate the loss, support you in coping with painful reminders or memories, and reduce self-blame. Miscarriage and other forms of pregnancy loss can also increase the risk of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). A therapist can help you understand your symptoms and provide targeted support based on what you are experiencing. Pregnancy loss can also affect relationships. Partners may grieve differently, which can lead to misunderstanding, emotional distance, or conflict. Therapy can help individuals or couples communicate more openly, understand each other’s reactions, and support each other through the loss.
What therapeutic approaches are used for pregnancy loss?
The best therapeutic approach depends on what the person is struggling with most. If trauma symptoms are a major concern, approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR) may help people process distressing memories connected to the loss. If intrusive thoughts, guilt, or anxiety are the main concern, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help people identify painful thought patterns and develop coping strategies to manage them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can help people make space for painful emotions while reconnecting with their values.
Can couples therapy help after a pregnancy loss?
Couples therapy can be very helpful after pregnancy loss. Partners may experience the same loss in different ways; for instance, one person may want to talk about it often, while the other may cope by trying to move forward. These differences can create tension in a relationship, even when both people are grieving. A couples therapist can help partners better understand each other’s responses, communicate needs more clearly, and discuss next steps after the loss. This may include conversations about emotional support, intimacy, family boundaries, medical decisions, or whether and when to try for another pregnancy.
