Are you feeling sad, anxious or overwhelmed? How about feeling disconnected or having no purpose in life? I understand that coming to therapy can be scary. We can feel so vulnerable opening up to a stranger about our confusions, fears and insecurities. Therapy is a process of self-exploration, change and healing. The therapy process will help you in gaining greater awareness about yourself, your relationships, and situations you find yourself in. In therapy, you will learn skills for coping and discover solutions to your problems.

Welcome! Therapy is good for anyone, at any time. Whether it's resolving a personal or family issue, coping with a tragic and difficult life event, or wanting to create something new in your life... you know what's motivating you to seek change at this time. Starting here is a great next step in that process, and we will work together to find lasting ways to integrate shifts in your mindset and emotions with actionable skills.

As an immigrant and South Asian woman of color, I am dedicated to helping individuals feel empowered and develop healthy growth-fostering connections through mutual empathy, authenticity, and genuineness.

Are you living an anxious, depressed, or angry life? Are you feeling lost, insecure, or struggling to find your place in the world? Do you wish you had better relationships, better self esteem, or a more fulfilling career? I understand how difficult it can be when you aren’t living the life you want but I’ve seen in countless cases how the therapeutic process can be transformational in helping you achieve the change you so desperately seek.

Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience working with children, families, and individuals. I work with clients in N.C., N.J. and Oregon, who are experiencing anxiety, depression, school/work difficulties, ADHD, ASD, relationship issues, personality disorders, low self-esteem, life transitions, coping skills, and many other mental health concerns. I strongly believe that in order to be successful, it is important to build a trusting and welcoming environment for my clients. I put a great emphasis on meeting clients where they are and establishing that respectful, trusting relationship.

While trained in evidence-based treatment techniques, my work is ever informed by and in full respect for the mind, body, and spirit of each client. As you consider the sometimes intimidating but always promising and courageous step of entering therapy, I welcome the opportunity to help you find the relief and change you are seeking.

I believe that each person is the expert of their own story. My job is to simply help steady the lamp, so that your Light can shine.

I am here to help you find and maintain the freedom that your soul has been craving all along. Utilizing evidenced based practices and personalized treatment interventions, we will work together to assess and address your physical, emotional, and spiritual needs as your journey unfolds.

Welcome to finding peace and happiness in your life again. Sometimes it can feel like peace and happiness are out of your grasp, but I am here to remind you that healing is possible for you.

I will help you to feel good about yourself and your life. Here you will find a place where you are always accepted.

Whether you are a young adult overwhelmed by college, a parent trying to maintain intimacy with your partner, or a baby boomer searching for meaning in retirement, I provide a collaborative, non-judgmental therapeutic environment. My expertise, support, and practical feedback will help you tap into your strengths and reach your goals. You may be looking for individual therapy, or to come in with your partner or family. I have had great success with all configurations, as well as with people of all ages and backgrounds. I offer evening and Saturday hours to accommodate busy schedules, and have offices in West Windsor and Princeton.

Sometimes along our journeys we learn ways of thinking and feeling that aren’t most helpful to us later on. I offer an opportunity to consider unlearning what isn’t serving us and to find new ways of thinking. Other times, we’d all just benefit from an extra layer of support; time set aside that’s all ours. Most of all, the work we do will allow you to feel some relief, comfort, connection, the opportunity to experience positive feelings, and sit with the hard ones.

"Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I'll meet you there." -Rumi.... This is the spirit of "mindful psychotherapy" which meets the client where he or she is. My aim is to promote healing with an eclectic approach to treatment within an environment of compassionate "presence". By building strong, safe and trusting therapeutic relationship and applying a treatment strategy appropriate for the given client, significant healing change can manifest.

The amazing thing is, we can all feel so much better than we do right now - even if we're already feeling quite well. But if you're looking at this website, odds are that you haven't been feeling your best lately. That can change, and it's way less complicated than you may imagine. ​ We all have a body. And the wonderful thing about our bodies is that they are built with an inherent capacity and inclination towards healing. At Equinimity Therapy NJ, I will help you harness that inherent drive and capability so you can endure, process, and even grow from major life changes, traumatic events, and mental health challenges.

I would identify my ideal client as an adolescent who is experiencing mental health issues and/or interpersonal difficulties. This could include an individual experiencing PTSD-related symptoms, depressive symptoms, anxiety, and other mental health-related issues. This could also include an individual experiencing life stressors/transitions, difficulties in developing healthy and sustainable relationships, complex grief, and lack of self-esteem and role identification. The goals of an ideal client would include improving mental health-related symptoms through the application of coping skills, communication skills, and self-esteem.

My role is to show empathy and active listening and provide a environment for individuals to explore their emotions and experiences to maintain sobriety and overall reduce mental health symptoms. I guide clients through their personal journeys towards healing and self-discovery. Utilizing evidence-based techniques and a client-centered approach, I work collaboratively with individuals to identify and address their unique needs and goals in the substance use program.
