My training includes multiple evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Prolonged Exposure.
As a first generation Indian-American therapist, I offer a unique perspective that takes into account the cultural nuances of growing up in an immigrant family and how this can shape so much of who we are. By integrating my experience with traditional therapeutic approaches, I provide you with the tools to empower yourself and build self-trust. Together, we can work towards uncovering insights, foster healing, and enhance overall well-being.

I bring a diverse vision of interpersonal communication and cognitive/emotional centered problem solving to our therapy.
Why are you seeking a therapist? Gaining an understanding of your needs is the first step we take together to develop your personal therapy. Yes, you read that right. I encourage my clients to be active participants in the development of their therapy. What is effective for one person is not necessarily effective for another. The strength of my therapeutic approach is in its transparency and my focus on guiding and empowering you, the client, in becoming an agent of change in your own life.

I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help those struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, and trauma develop self-compassion and inner strength to overcome and even embrace life's challenges.
I believe that everyone deserves to live a life that makes them excited to wake up in the morning. Unfortunately, many people live imprisoned in negativity brought upon by childhood trauma, abusive relationships, or toxic work environments. One of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story and take steps to create a life worth living. My goal is to provide a safe place to work through your pain to understand the patterns that have kept you feeling stuck and help you get on a path towards self-compassion, healthy relationships, and overall contentment.

While my focus in the past has been cognitive behavior therapy, problem-solving therapy, and psychodynamic work, I am currently getting certified as an EMDR therapist from the EMDR Institute.
I am licensed in California with 20 years of professional work experience. I have experience helping clients with stress, anxiety, trauma, abuse, and parenting issues. I also have experience working with clients coping with life changes. I worked with children and their families for nine years, but I prefer to utilize play therapy, so the platform is not conducive to that. I have also worked with adolescents and adults and feel competent in treating them. Utilizing EMDR has been very effective with trauma, anxiety, and depression.

I am an experiential therapist and enjoy helping those who wish to be free of painful, unhappy, or otherwise bad feelings from past experiences, change the nature of their current and future relationships, and live up to their full potential. I believe that therapy is not only a science but an art form that can only succeed by being authentic and sincere. I also have experience using CBT, DBT, mindfulness-based stress reduction, a humanistic, attachment-based, narrative, and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy.

With my years of experience, and research proven approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I can help you discover a life filled with meaning, purpose, and peace.
Just when you think you are getting used to one phase of life, the next one throws you a curve ball. Whether your life includes being single, adjusting to marriage or parenthood, raising a teen, children leaving the home, or adjusting to retirement, each phase brings plenty of unique challenges. Issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, and life dissatisfaction can seem like constant companions through it all. It can feel exhausting! Life should not be about working so hard yet feeling so flat!

Reaching out to a therapist can be scary and vulnerable, and I hope to provide a safe space for you to identify your goals and begin to make positive, values-based changes toward a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
