Hello, my clients call me Sati. If you're looking for a therapist who offers more than just reflective listening, you’re in the right place. I offer a goal-oriented, collaborative therapy experience that combines evidence-based approaches with contemplative practices and somatic awareness to support genuine, lasting change. Many of my clients come to therapy during times of spiritual questioning or transformation. Others are simply seeking a less formal yet results-driven approach to mental health. All are welcome. Together, we’ll create a therapy experience that supports meaningful change and honors your unique journey.
I work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, communication issues, and significant life transitions — as well as those facing spiritual questions, loss of meaning, or shifts in belief. Therapy offers a space to develop new skills, deepen wisdom, and cultivate compassion, helping you move forward with greater clarity and resilience.
Together, we’ll create a space where your whole self is honored—mind, body, and spirit. I will walk alongside you with compassion, helping you uncover your inner strengths and resources, even amidst confusion or struggle, supporting your growth toward clarity, resilience, and meaningful change.
