A native of San Antonio, I am a general practice psychologist with a telehealth practice in San Antonio and throughout the state of Texas.

Selecting the right therapist is a highly personal decision, one that’s often made in times of duress. With so many options, I encourage you to take the time you deserve to make an informed decision.

Going through difficult times in life does not have to be done alone. Change does not happen overnight. Sometimes, when we bring our concerns to others, they might be minimized and it can be hard to find someone to talk to. Having a safe space to openly communicate about our problems, learn about them, and overcome them can help. I am here to help you learn about you, what your needs are, what you want in your life, and empower you on your journey. I specialize in LGBTQIA + issues, couples/relationships, depression, anxiety, grief, ADHD, and others.

My intent within my practice is create a safe space for all of your experiences. I have been dedicated to providing community mental health interventions for the past 6 years.

I have worked primarily with POC and other American Cultural Minority populations, including South Asian survivors of domestic and sexual violence, LGBTQIA +, and many others. As a second generation South Indian, I have extensive personal and professional experience with model minority stressors, cultural trauma, immigration abuse, religious abuse and various other struggles common for those that identify as a minority in America. I believe that therapy is meant to be a space of mutual collaboration, to help work towards and help understand those aspects of your life that motivated you to seek guidance.

Anyone who has ever experienced a challenging life event knows how scary it can be to talk to someone about it. Healing from these experiences is a process. If you're reading this, then you are already taking one of the most challenging steps in that process: reaching out. I am an LGBTQ -affirming licensed counselor located in Central Austin. I specialize in working with "lost ones" or individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, a difficult life transition, relationship or sexuality issues, or just feeling disconnected or "stuck."

I love helping adults, young adults, and older teens find and give voice to their true selves and spirit. Maybe you are exploring your identity as a 2SLGBTQ+ person; as a a third culture kid or as part of an immigrant family; or you may be reclaiming your sense of self as a recovering people-pleaser, high-achiever, or someone coming out of toxic relationships. If you are looking to redefine who you are and not who other people want you to be - this is the place for you!

Hi, my name is Imani! I aim to assist my clients in their journey of self-discovery, freedom, & interconnection through various life circumstances such as LGBTQ issues, role/identity issues, grief, depression/anxiety, & substance use/abuse. And it is essential to my praxis to see the person in their environment from a strength-based & systemic perspective.

You deserve to love every single part of who you are. It's not always easy. Maybe it's been especially hard lately. Maybe there are past experiences that have damaged your sense of self-worth. Maybe you're suffocated by a society that tells you how you should look, behave, and love. Maybe you struggle with a sense of shame that makes it difficult to be radically, fully, unapologetically you. Somewhere along the way, you've gotten stuck. It's time to get unstuck. Let's figure this out together.

There is no denying that life brings both joy and sorrow. Have you found yourself holding it together and pretending to be ok on the outside but you’re falling apart on the inside? Are you consumed by worry, fear, doubt and constantly question what the future holds for you? Do you feel lost, numb, or alone? If the statements above sound like you, there is hope! You don’t have to go through this difficult time alone. I can help! You and I will work together identifying strengths you already have to improve and navigate the world around you. This therapeutic process may bring laughter and sometimes tears but ultimately healing.

A good counselor is a complete stranger that you can tell everything to, without fear of judgment or criticism. Everything in your life is relevant, and the freedom to speak truthfully about the difficult parts of your experience is a key component to your recovery. I decided to become a counselor because I am interested in people and how they struggle, celebrate, and solve problems. I'm interested in their relationships and how they navigate through unfamiliar situations. I have worked with people with anxiety, depression, insomnia, marital issues, gender issues, LGBTQIA +, and people adjusting to levels of change in their lives.

For too long, “GET OVER IT” has been the advice that so many have heard. It’s not that easy when you are feeling alone; like no one understands you or what you have been through. When you are having flashbacks, nightmares, triggers and when you live with constant anxiety, depression and physical symptoms, IT’S OK TO ASK FOR HELP! It’s not weakness when you seek out help through therapy. On the contrary, it shows incredible strength. I provide a warm, calm, non-judgmental, supportive and safe environment. I am LGBTQ -affirming. The therapy session is yours, not mine, and we go at a pace that is comfortable to you.

I understand that life has its ups and downs, and selecting a therapist to talk to about it with can be challenging. Welcome, I’m happy you made it here. I am a LPC, Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, and Nationally Certified Counselor. It would be my privilege to walk alongside you in your journey towards growth, healing, and self-discovery. Each of us is unique, for that reason, I believe therapy is not a one-size-fits-all. My goal is to work together to create an individualized approach for you and your needs. Counseling can provide a safe space where you feel heard and understood in a non-judgmental, supporting environment.

Something’s not right. You may *know* what it is: anxiety, depression, relationship problems, PTSD, negative effects of childhood or past trauma, LGBTQ topics, or just plain unhappiness. Then again, you may *not know* what it is. All you know for sure is you want to be feeling different but you don’t know exactly where that is or how to get there.  Am I close? What if I told you that I’m like a “GPS For The Mind?” We’ll pinpoint in what areas of your life you want to feel better, clearer, lighter and then I’ll go to work getting you there.

Experience Peace, Happiness & Satisfying Relationships! I believe that changing the way we THINK about something, changes how we FEEL. Since there is always more than one way to think about something, how we feel about our Self, our Relationships and our Life Circumstances is within OUR control.
