My practice is emotion-focused and experiential type of psychotherapy. I also incorporate mindfulness meditation. It may help particularly with anxious and/or depressed people. I will be happy to work with those who do NOT feel the need of therapy per se, but feel like they are at an important time in their life. I welcome those who want to change themselves or their life even though they may feel somewhat happy where they are now. I truly feel gratitude toward the courage people take to start something NEW.

Do you feel that life could be more joyful, more meaningful, more productive, more balanced - but don’t know how to access this elusive "more"? You may have had a hard time finding your footing after a big life event or transition. It's common to struggle with identifying and communicating about what you think, feel, want and need. You may feel disconnected from friends and family and don't know how to ask for or accept help. The more we try to cover up what we're struggling with, the more we feel alone and fear being "exposed." This can cause us to feel inauthentic, awkward or ashamed and we may experience anxiety and depression.

So many of us turn to therapy because we're exhausted, overwhelmed, or stuck. We're confused by our own reactions, beliefs, and thoughts. Often it can feel like we're fighting against ourselves and unintentionally hurting us and others in the process. Even if we have a vague understanding of our negative patterns, unbinding them can seem daunting. We're surrounded by people, information, and options, yet we feel more insecure, lost, and lonely than ever. Even the act of finding a therapist is distressing. But if you're here trying, I believe it speaks to the resilience emerging inside of you, driving you toward relief and change.

You can barely sleep through the night. Overwhelmed by thoughts and emotions, it's not just your sleep that's impacted. No matter how hard you try to throw them away, intense feelings come rushing back unexpectedly when you are at school, work, or on a moving subway train. It is hard to explain to people around you what is really going on - they wouldn't understand, or worse, they may be disappointed in you. You're exhausted living this double life; trying to appear conventionally "normal" on the outside while you're struggling alone on the inside. You want it to end, but are scared to probe deeper. This is where therapy comes in.

Do you wonder how it’s possible to feel both too much and not enough? Are you looking to slow things down inside when your world never stops? In order to shift anything, one must reach, with gentle touch, the parts of ourselves able to transform. I passionately hold that we could all use a way to slow down our rapidly evolving lives—a way to hold space for what drives us forward, or slows us down in ways we’d like to speed up. Therapy is a space to peel back layers to help you move toward being fully expressed, in steady, easy participation with your life—even with its inevitable ups and downs and the in-between spaces.

In conjunction, I utilize specific ways to help you build your inner resources/skills to cope with daily life stressors, relationship problems, trauma, anxiety, depression, and other concerns.

Pursuing therapy is a courageous act because it is a process where you can grow and evolve.

The ultimate goal of working with me is not to be stuck in therapy, but to be able to live your life more fully!

Welcome. My name is Allie. I specialize in relationship psychotherapy and anxiety disorders. Patients that work well with me are those that wish to understand the deeper, unconscious drivers of their present anxious and/or depressive symptoms. I help all patients gain a life-long ability to self-reflect internally, take responsibility, and build more connected lives. An important note to consider is that I honor many aspects of masculinity that have been ridiculed culturally as of late, and empower men to embrace these important parts of themselves.

I am a University of Pennsylvania trained, millennial, Indian-American, psychotherapist who utilizes emotion-focused methods to help you generate a stronger sense of self. My main goals in therapy are to help you feel less alone with your emotions and to help you feel more understood in your experience as a POC in the United States. As a child of immigrants, I can relate to the unique challenge of straddling two very different cultures and trying to fit in with both. Oftentimes, I will draw from my personal experience of navigating similar cultural, generational, and racial clashes to better support you.

In this uniquely disorienting time, many of us are anxious, depressed, and full of dread and confusion. In an effort to escape these uncomfortable feelings, it's easy to numb out and focus our attention from the neck up. But by becoming friendly with our physical realities and bodily-felt experiences, we can cultivate greater trust in ourselves, expand our choices for how to be in the world, and experience greater integration and wellbeing.

Has your relationship lost that “spark” that it once had? Do you and your partner find yourselves in the same cycle of fighting over seemingly meaningless things? Do you find yourself constantly on edge over things your partner says or does? Does it feel like there isn’t any romance, intimacy, or sex anymore? Do you feel stuck and hopeless? It can feel like you’re with a different person or someone that you don’t even know anymore. The arguments seem to happen more frequently and feel more intense. This leads to resentment and anger, which only continues the argumentative cycle. Being in this place can feel hopeless and hurtful.
