Some modalities I utilize include Existential Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Gottman (for couples), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy ( DBT).
Finding a meaningful relationship can be difficult, and so can maintaining one! Both can lead to anxiety, hopelessness, heartbreak, trust issues, and compromised self-esteem. Relationships and dating can be a hectic and messy process, despite technological advances and seemingly endless advice. We live in a world with so many options, and even with the best intentions, sometimes we need help. Whether it's incompatibility, betrayal, or the numerous other challenges that arise, just know you're not alone. I'm here to work with you and provide support on your journey of self-discovery, healing, and authentic living.

My therapeutic approach has a psychodynamic foundation that utilizes behavioral, cognitive, and dialectical techniques.
Have you ever wondered why you are the way you are? Why you think the way you think, feel the way you feel, and do the things you do? I believe that psychotherapy can help anyone answer all of those questions and truly discover who they are and how they can help themselves. Imagine what your life would look like if you could identify how you are feeling in the moment, where it's coming from, and how to work through it effectively. My goal is to help you better understand who you are, help you identify your strengths, and provide you with the tools you need to help you achieve your goals and live the life you want.

Deciding upon therapy for yourself, as an individual, a family member or significant other in a couple is daunting, to say the least. Confronting difficulties in relation to one's past, present or future requires courage, which is on its own, an initial therapeutic step in the right direction. My philosophy is that all beings are intrinsically, whole and worthy. Therefore, my therapeutic mission is to help individuals, couples and families connect to their innate wholeness. My approach is an integration of complementary models; including Attachment theory, DBT, Mindfulness and CBT.

With every day changing so rapidly and the increase in uncertainty, life presents us with new obstacles and challenges that we might not expect. It takes great strength and courage to ask for help when you need it. I help clients with improving body image, increasing self-esteem, mood disorders, eating disorders, and identity challenges. As a minority myself, I have experience helping clients work through processing cultural barriers and unfair treatment. I am also passionate about working with BIPOC and the South Asian population. I also provide letters for gender affirming care.

I believe that helping others means looking at the bigger picture in their lives, not just their mental well-being. I believe the broader perspective deepens our understanding of their experiences. While I work with all individuals and couples/families, I'm most passionate about helping couples struggling with high conflict situations, working on improving their communication, rebuilding their connection, and having difficulty adjusting to life changes. I aim to create a supportive and understanding environment for couples and families, helping them break free from unhealthy cycles and patterns.

Whether I am seeing an individual, couple, or family, I firmly believe each and every client is worthy of the time and effort dedicated to their personal growth in therapy. I wanted to become a therapist to help people see their worth and to understand each other better. Growth occurs when clients are willing to learn more about how they relate to themselves, others, and the world around them. Sometimes growth comes with a lot of healing, and many times healing is followed by identification of more areas for growth. I am present as a support for you in this journey, which is unique to each individual.

Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.
Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behavior and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.
What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behavior, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioral change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behavior; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
