My name is Payal pronounced like Pile. As a fellow human, I know life can be tough and unpredictable and way too easy to overlook the things working in our favor. I am experienced in helping clients navigate life changes whether at work, relationships, loss or any other hurdle that comes our way. I am experienced in addressing substance use, anxiety, depression and other mood disorders. As a South Asian, I am acutely aware of how our cultural backgrounds can influence behaviors, thoughts, and experiences.
I take a person-centered approach while being aware of the many systems in which you live and function. I am experienced in digging down to root causes or focusing on immediate solutions. I meet you where you are, while also challenging you along the way. I welcome feedback from clients; I want to be of help in a that way works for you.
Reaching out can be difficult and I encourage you to try. I will meet you with gratitude and open mindedness. If you are willing, let us start the process with an initial consultation to see if we are a fit.

I often use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside a psychodynamic approach. I believe exploring root causes and current value systems can contribute to lasting change. We can also skip the past and focus on the present and take a solution focused approach. We will explore what brought you to therapy and what approach will work best.
