Welcome! As a clinical psychologist, I help people make meaningful changes to their lives through psychological testing and therapy. I use a direct style, coupled with warmth and humor to deliver services from an evidence-based background in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). I particularly specialize in trauma (i.e., cognitive processing therapy and prolonged exposure) and mood disorders I also treat ADHD (i.e., executive function coaching), anxiety disorders, and grief for adolescents, young adults, and adults.
A big part of my practice is devoted to testing and assessment. I help adults and families with diagnostic clarity for neurodevelopmental concerns (like ADHD), learning disorders, mood and personality concerns, and more. I thoughtfully integrate interviews, life histories, and evidence-based measures to understand each client’s unique developmental patterns.
I approach each client with respect and care. As a South Asian American clinical psychologist, I know it is important to acknowledge and balance a person's life history and identity. I strive to provide a setting where you receive high quality care from an evidence-based and trauma-informed lens. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me for a consultation!
