Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years experience working with individuals, couples and families. I specialize in Anxiety Disorders, Depression, Life Transitions, Women’s issues etc.

My approach to therapy

Therapy is a very personal process and not everyone is ready for it. It takes motivation and courage to be able deal with our emotions and the effect that life altering events have on us. My approach is present and solution focused and look at all issue through a psychodynamic lens. I help my clients achieve their health and personal goals through life coaching and cognitive behavioral psychotherapy. As a South Asian therapist I am culturally sensitive and help my clients navigate some of the immigration, acculturation challenges.

My approach is supportive and compassionate. I have been working with both adults, children and adolescents utilizing Psychodynamic Therapy and Cognitive Therapy. To me therapy is a structured partnership in which I am here to listen to your needs and help you achieve the goals that you have for yourself.

What you can expect from me

My therapy approach is very individualized and is tailored to each person and their challenges. I primarily use Compassion Focused, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy in conjunction with Mindfulness practices and Health Coaching.
