Life feeling like an emotional rollercoaster? Hard not to people please and put others first while feeling miserable inside. You don't have to figure it out alone or feel stuck, I can help. I am licensed to provide both mental health and addiction counseling in NC, with 20yrs experience. My specialties: trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, family stress, LGBTQA+, grief/loss, inter-generational cultural issues, and premarital counseling. My lived experience as a first generation South Asian immigrant, a working parent, who has faced transitions to seek meaningful growth, shapes my authentic counseling style.

I believe your identities and how you move through the world are important and deserve to take up space in the therapy room. The ways white supremacy and other oppressive parts of our world affect your journey are often parts that go unrecognized by others. I especially love working with folks who are LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and/or have an identity that is marginalized in some way by our normative culture.

I typically see a diverse range of clients presenting with ADHD, anxiety, anger management, behavioral struggles, depression, emotional regulation, grief and loss, relationship issues, school-related issues, learning difficulties, and self-esteem struggles. Feeling accepted as you are, openly expressing what you are thinking and feeling, and exploring new strategies for managing thoughts and feelings are basic to the counseling process. I strive to create a counseling relationship centered around these goals and am honored to accompany clients on their pathway toward greater self-understanding and acceptance.

As a therapist, my mission is to offer a safe haven where individuals can dive into their deepest thoughts, emotions, and challenges. I firmly believe in the profound impact of human connection and the healing potential of therapy. With a background spanning various age groups and diverse struggles. I am committed to customizing each therapy session to align with the specific needs and aspirations of my clients. Your journey toward healing and resilience is my priority, and I am here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

I have counseling experience working with a diverse clientele within the adult population. I serve adults in different stages of life, as well as religions backgrounds. I believe that all people have an innate desire to have a fulfilling and purposeful life. Inevitable stress, anxiety, crisis, trauma, and sadness that accompany life can leave unhealed wounds and drive human beings to develop healthy and unhealthy coping mechanisms, as well as perceptions about life that serve to protect them against future hardships. However, unhealthy coping strategies can continue to cause problems in our lives.

Seeking therapy can be a daunting task, but one that takes a lot of courage. I am dedicated to providing a warm, safe, and supportive environment for you. I offer individual counseling services to children and adults between 9-55+. I specialize in working with adolescents who have experienced significant grief and loss. I understand that the pain of loss can be overwhelming. Grief is like a fingerprint – entirely unique to the individual and their journey.

I view counseling as an opportunity for self-exploration, growth, and healing. My top priority is to build a trusting relationship while creating a space where clients feel safe, respected and heard. I use an integrative approach, drawing predominately from Person-Centered modalities and techniques while utilizing Trauma Invested/Informed Therapy, Child-Centered Play Therapy, and Child Parent Relationship Training (CPRT). I truly believe that every client is unique, varying in strengths, struggles, and personalities. Therefore, I tailor each treatment plan to meet each client where they are, in the present moment.

Sometimes unexpected things or events happen to us that can make our happiness feel out of our grasp. Things like life & family transitions, chronic physical or mental illness, autoimmune disorders, romantic and familial relationships, trauma, abuse, cyber/social media related anxiety, disabilities or depression can lead you to feeling extremely overwhelmed and as if your life is out of control. This may cause you to feel trapped, alone, unsafe, or stuck in a dark chapter of your life that sometimes feels unbearable or unending. I am here to help you turn the page and progress to a new chapter of your story without judgment.

I strive to create a safe space that is client centered and holistic, meeting my clients where they are at. I have worked primarily with adolescents, adults and couples. I enjoy working with individuals who are struggling with anxiety and depression. People who are striving to overcome symptoms, look for self-improvement that fits their lifestyle and goals, and create meaningful positive relationships both in and outside of the session. Furthermore, couples who are struggling, have felt a growing distance, or just want to increase their communication and intimacy can work collaboratively with me to improve their relationship!

Are you or a loved one struggling with anxiety, life transitions, or behavioral challenges? Whether it's starting a new school, moving to a different city, or simply navigating the ongoing ebbs and flows of life, I am here to guide you through these changes. Every day life challenges are overwhelming for us all, but with the help of a highly skilled therapist, their impact can be much lighter and easier to manage.

Throughout life’s journey, we may find ourselves feeling lost, unsure of where to start of where to go. We realize that past experiences have shaped our worldview, and how we relate to and connect with others. We may recognize that there are patterns within our family system that we want to break, but aren’t sure how. When we have experienced trauma, we may find it easier to leave it in the past; however, these experiences can change how we think and feel about ourselves and our surroundings. Through therapy, we can learn new skills to strengthen our relationships and establish secure attachment patterns.
