Are you successful outwardly, but deep down feel a nagging lack of personal fulfilment? Are you swamped with life, and wondering how to achieve more balance, meaning and purpose? Do you want to improve your emotional health and wellbeing, silence your Inner Critic and boost your self-confidence? Are you curious about this "mindfulness" thing that everyone is talking about these days? If so, let's work together! I primarily work with Millennials, Gen Y and Gen Xers who are feeling overwhelmed and dissatisfied with their lives, struggle with low self-esteem and self-worth, or facing difficulty with "adulting."

I believe that you have the ability to live your best and most fulfilling life with some support and guidance. Mental health is one of the most feared topics to discuss because of all the stigma and shame associated with struggling with mental and psychological wellness. My hope is that we can work together to identify, acknowledge and work through any of the struggles you are experiencing. My practice has a few therapists outside of myself, so if for any reason we are not able to make our schedules align or we are not the best fit together, we can definitely offer some other options to support you.

Anxiety (be it social, panic, situational, or generalized) can be a beast and is largely at the forefront of my practice. Its impact on our relationships, physical/mental well-being, moods, self-worth, and how we approach milestones/life transitions can lead us astray from the life we want to be living. Therapy helps us dial down the volume of anxiety. In therapy, you're provided a rare opportunity to relax and focus on yourself without judgment or competing narratives. Your difficulties. Your successes. Your goals. You decide where your therapeutic journey goes. I welcome the opportunity to be a part of that journey.

It's time to break the stigma. South Asian mental health is often overlooked and stigmatized by cultural and religious upbringing and family expectations. Shanti Psychotherapy was founded to create a collective of like minded and skilled therapists. Our intention is to help our community break free of the stigma associated with mental health issues, and to offer a comfortable, compassionate therapy experience.

Relationships can be hard. Whether romantic, platonic, or familial, relationships can sometimes be a source of stress, anxiety and pain. Maybe your relationship just ended and you’re going through the throes of heartbreak. Or maybe you and your partner have been constantly arguing and you’re questioning the relationship. You could be realizing that the fallout you had with a friend is affecting you more than you thought it would. Or maybe you’re feeling lonely and you want more meaningful connections but social anxiety and lack of confidence are holding you back.

I have specialized in working with children and teens for over 15 years because they deserve to work with an expert. I believe that their problems are real, and that they are capable of solving them. Frankly, they are also a lot of fun to work with! I don’t work with a child or teen in isolation, though. I also work with the parents because they are a crucial part of their child's progress. Therapy is not just a chat. It is a purposeful and structured conversation designed to highlight clients’ strengths, skills and values and to help clients figure out a way forward. I am passionate about my career, and I love what I do.

I am a very active therapist. In my individual sessions, I step up and share my knowledge of psychology to help my clients make change and feel better. Early in the therapeutic process, I take time to explain emotions. Very often, an increased understanding of how emotions are present in every area of life, and the discovery that emotions can be managed helps people to achieve a greater sense of ease.

Our busy lives can leave us feeling stressed, anxious and overwhelmed. We have many competing responsibilities and expectations. Sometimes, we start feeling as though we are losing our way. Therapy can allow us a moment to pause, unpack, regroup and create a plan for moving forward in a healthy way. My intention is to help you focus on your strengths, resources and innate compassion, thereby uncovering new personal narratives about who you are and your ability to cope.

When I work with individuals, they often tell me that they can't turn off their thoughts or struggle with overwhelming feelings. I take a mindfulness approach to therapy using the ACT model, that helps you learn to manage and cope with difficult thoughts and feelings, and commit to action that enriches your life. Do you feel disconnected in your relationship or stuck in conflict? Many couples I meet often feel discouraged and lonely in their relationships. I work with couples who are experiencing conflict, loss of connection or overcoming an affair.
