Great to meet you!

Hello! I’m Priya, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping adults, parents, and young adults navigate life’s heaviest transitions without feeling like they have to figure it all out alone.

If you are struggling with overwhelming anxiety, burnout, relationship strain, or the complex emotional rollercoaster of pregnancy/postpartum, please know you don't have to carry it by yourself. As a parent myself, I can empathize!

Whether you are facing a major life change, coping with stress, or trying to rebuild your emotional balance, my goal is to give you a supportive, non-judgmental space to catch your breath. I am here to help reduce the pressure of figuring out "what's next."

Together, we’ll move beyond just talking about the struggle. We will build practical, real-world tools to help you reduce anxiety, build resilience, and feel grounded again. Ready to take the first step? Reach out today to schedule a free initial consultation, I’d be honored to support you.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy is never a one-size-fits-all experience. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored specifically to your unique life story and goals. By drawing on your innate strengths alongside proven, evidence-based frameworks—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)—we will work together to help you make sense of your thoughts, emotions, and behavioral patterns.

If you are navigating the profound emotional shifts of pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, or infertility, I have completed specialized training in perinatal mental health to guide you through these specific seasons.

Our work goes beyond just understanding why you feel distressed. Together, we will build actionable, real-world tools to help you manage daily stressors, process deep-seated patterns, and build lasting resilience. Above all, I am committed to creating a genuine, trusting relationship where you can step out of survival mode and step into meaningful, lasting change.

What you can expect from me

During the first session, I hope to learn more about you, provide psychoeducation about the therapy process, and most importantly learn more about your reason to begin this work together. The first session is information gathering and to determine if I may be a good fit for you, and of course build the foundation for our path forward if I am.
