I work with clients across their lifespan who may have anxiety, depression, or difficulty adjusting to a new life experience. I work with children and teens to help address self-esteem, social skills, emotional regulation, conflict resolution, or sensory processing challenges. The adults I work with might be experiencing a life-altering event, navigating their purpose in life, managing relationships, stress, dealing with a chronic illness, or struggling with parenthood.

I currently work with ages 8 and up struggling with an array of issues such as anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation/self harm, anger, and self esteem.
Have you noticed your child or teen worrying a lot more lately? Have they been more down and withdrawn, losing interest in things they once loved? Seeing your child or teen struggle can leave you feeling helpless. Or maybe you have noticed these things in yourself or are a young adult struggling with life transitions and every day stress. Seeking help from a therapist may be the best choice to help begin to work towards meaningful change, create a better life balance, and facilitate inner peace.

A common thread I have observed through working with a very diverse group of populations is that most clients are looking for connection, respect, and encouragement. I am passionate about helping adolescents and adults from all backgrounds and hope to provide them with the highest standard of care.

Everything you need to grow and heal is already inside of you. Sometimes, all it takes is the support of a therapist to bring out your strengths, confidence, and courage to make meaningful life changes. My goal is to understand how past experiences impact your present so we can heal them from the root. We’ll also identify coping strategies for moving through difficult emotions or memories so you can show up for yourself with more compassion and confidence.

I work with older teenagers and adults experiencing conflict, which can contribute to anxiety, depression, and adjustment issues. Many of my clients are in transitional life phases when miscommunications and disagreements are most likely to emerge—especially with loved ones. I offer practical skills for communicating through conflict so clients can fully express themselves, feel understood, and use the situation as an opportunity to build the relationship.

When you get into session with me, I hope the first thing you feel is a deep exhale. Therapy can provide us that moment to breathe and sort through whatever needs attention at that time. While life’s challenges may be ever changing, I hope you will find a stability and consistency that helps you face anything. Trust the process and trust yourself to direct that process in the way that feels best for YOU.

I know you're more than your story, your pain, joy, social identity & experiences. As a South Asian immigrant, I proactively advocate for my clients both inside and outside the therapy room. I will show up for you if you need help involving other family or partner participants in therapy sessions. I connect a session with the next session with a journaling prompt or a big feeling exploration during the week. I also make sure I do not abruptly end sessions and take the last few minutes to do some grounding and mindfulness exercises helping clients feel less overwhelmed when they leave the therapy room.

Regardless of your presenting problem, the impact of therapy can be life-altering, not just for yourself but for those around you. My clients can expect a judgment-free, safe zone to discuss their goals and concerns at a pace that feels comfortable. While I might nudge a client towards further analysis, I respect autonomy and self-determinism. I am here to provide resources, strategies, support, and insight as we work together in navigating difficult life circumstances, processing painful past experiences or overcoming barriers that are keeping you stuck.

Self Esteem Therapists
When should a person seek therapy for low self-esteem?
When self-esteem problems begin to disrupt the healthy daily functioning of an individual, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not engaging with friends for fear of being judged, not completing work assignments because they don’t think they’re capable, or not finding romantic love because they don’t feel they’re worthy of it, a therapist may be able to help.
What are the signs of low self-esteem?
Low self-esteem is a common issue that can affect a person's mental and emotional well-being. Some common signs of low self-esteem include negative self-talk, perfectionism, social anxiety, difficulty making decisions, an inability to set boundaries, people-pleasing, and others. A lack of belief in oneself or one’s abilities and a feeling of not being worthy or deserving underlie most of these characteristics.
What causes low self-esteem?
Feelings of low self-worth can begin in childhood or adulthood. Being raised by a highly critical parent or growing up feeling constant disapproval can stay with a person well into adulthood. Specific issues in adulthood may also be a cause of low self-esteem. An unhappy relationship, a dysfunctional work or school experience can impact a person’s feelings of self-worth.
How can therapy improve self-esteem?
Therapists can help identify negative thought patterns that keep the client stuck in a loop of destructive self-talk and develop coping skills to change the voice in their head. A therapist can help with goal-setting, so that clients are better able to stay on task and build confidence from successfully completing work they’re proud of. Coaching a client on how to better communicate can improve relationships. These skills can result in someone with low self-esteem feeling empowered and living with less fear.
