Hello, I am a multilingual and multicultural therapist. Fluent in English, Hindi, Nepali, and Punjabi, I have over 12 years of experience working with diverse individuals, couples, and families both in India and the U.S. Throughout my career, I have helped clients overcome a range of issues including trauma, anxiety, depression, academic pressures, relationship conflicts, family issues, and grief and loss. While I work with clients presenting a variety of issues, I have a particular interest in working with adults who are experiencing grief and loss, helping them understand life transitions and navigate through their emotions.

GASLIGHTING; NARCISSIST ABUSE; EMOTIONAL ABUSE; MANIPULATION; HI-CONFLICT RELATIONSHIP: Often belittled, demeaned, and raged upon. You walk on eggshells & constantly need to watch what you say for fear your partner might blow up. You often feel confused & now distrust yourself; have trouble making decisions & feel like you lost yourself or don't know the person you used to be. Gaslighting is a form of psychological/emotional abuse where the abuser manipulates situations repeatedly to trick the victim into doubting his/her own memory, perception & sanity. You're accused of doing something that you know you didn't do or say.

The path to wellness can be challenging as your mental, emotional, and physical experiences all play a role in your overall welfare. I actively focus on the intersection between health and behavior to help optimize your well-being. I have specialized training in treating insomnia, chronic pain, weight management, adjustment to new diagnoses, and management of chronic health conditions. I also help individuals cope with psychological concerns, such as anxiety, depression, adjustment to life transitions, stress management, burnout, and relationship difficulties.

I specialize in helping high-achieving professionals, both individuals and couples, cultivate greater self-awareness, clarity, and inner peace. While external success may be apparent, it often doesn't align with one's internal experience. Many individuals struggle with relationship issues, anxiety, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, depression, or constant striving, which can overshadow an otherwise fulfilling life. I provide a safe space for clients to explore their energy and the dynamics in their environment, unravel their innermost thoughts, address difficult emotions, and nurture self-awareness.

Worried? Anxious? Blue? Feelings can be the result of your situation,or they can be triggered by deeper issues such as attachment, trauma, and unprocessed memories. EMDR "turbocharges" the processing of painful memories. Adults, teens, and children with a history of abuse, trauma, and loss can heal quickly. I also specialize in resolving relationship issues and helping families become stronger. Whether you need help to navigate life transitions or to realize your full potential for emotional growth, therapy is a highly interactive process. Together we develop a plan for treatment involving care and commitment. Feel better!

I work with people who wish to change self-limiting beliefs and destructive behaviors. I'll assist them in becoming aware of triggers, habits and unexamined assumptions which keep them stuck in repetitive cycles. By developing insight and understanding, they're often empowered to make new choices that are more in harmony with who they are and what they truly want.

My clients feel accepted and not judged, but also know that I give feedback and perspective, not just support. I don't view my clients as "ill", "broken" or "dysfunctional", but rather as spiritual beings, challenged by life to grow in some way. I do 70 minute sessions, because I view counseling as a way to help you get on with your life - not as a way of life - and most of my clients move through the process fairly quickly. I have over 45 years of experience in general practice, with a particular specialty in relationship counseling - couples and families.

Are you unhappy in your primary relationship? Have you suffered the loss of a love? Are addictions (yours or your partners) hurting you and the people you love? Would you like to have a more fulfilling sexual relationship with your partner? I have been helping couples increase emotional and physical intimacy for over 20 years. I take a directive approach to helping couples communicate more effectively. Often they find this results in more frequent supportive and loving interactions. Therapy can help you become more empowered in all your relationships. This often results in being more productive at work as well.

My first job as a therapist is to listen and understand. Deep listening is a time honored tradition and fundamental to healing. I strive to create a safe and nurturing relationship with clients that is a source of comfort and inspiration. Clients inspire me too! I practice spiritually grounded psychotherapy. This means I see life's challenges as, fundamentally, opportunities to grow spiritually and as a whole person. To me, the process of healing is beautiful and miraculous, something that gives us glimpses of a benevolent force much greater than ourselves.

Do you find yourself repeating unhealthy patterns? Or overwhelmed or immobilized by fears, despair, or changes beyond your control? excessively worried, irritable or on edge? spiraling downwards? feeling helpless and alone? You may have symptoms of anxiety, depression, or stress. They can impact your overall quality of life and your day-to-day functioning. They can also lead to misunderstandings in your relationships with loved ones at home, friends, or co-workers on the job. Fortunately, through psychotherapy, you can regain a sense of personal direction over your life, find new solutions, and feel good about your decisions.

Thank you for viewing my page! Therapy with me is relational, dynamic, reflective and responsive. You can expect to be challenged, in a warm and supportive environment. Curiosity about relationships and how family history gets carried forward into the present guides my work with children & adults of all ages. I've worked with clients aged 0-101 with an emphasis on connection, authenticity, and mindful self-awareness to overcome a variety of conditions, including low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, phase-of-life and relationship problems. As a Somatic psychotherapist, I also utilize body-based techniques like mindfulness & movement.
