I work with individuals, couples, families, and organizations from a wide variety of cultural backgrounds.
I’m Nitish with 20+ years practicing Counseling. My calling started during my 3rd year as a pre-med student. Something in me wanted to figure out why I felt like I had a chip on my shoulder. This lead me to investigating Psychology that became my vocation thereafter. Understanding why humans feel, think, and act in certain ways helped me to understand myself and people around me. I could feel God had given me new tools to learn about His pinnacle of creation. It was like gaining a window into my soul. After all, by definition, Psychology is the study of the soul.

I'm an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, which is useful for both individuals and couples- even when sexuality/intimacy isn't a primary focus of treatment.
Accepting new clients! I work with anyone who is feeling stuck in their life- helping them feel seen, heard, and understood, as we approach problems with curiosity and empathy. While we can't control what happens to us, we can control how we respond- and therapy is the best way to get all the tools you need to respond to life's ups and downs. If you're motivated and engaged in the process, therapy can give you the set of tools you need to improve (or completely change) your life. My background includes in-depth therapeutic training, 12 years of experience as a therapist, as well as 7 years of supervising associate therapists.

You are likely seeking relief and clarity to thoughts, behaviors, and feelings that are not working for you. Simply put, something is stuck. I work with people to transform painful and frustrating experiences. For some, this looks like grief work. Others explore relationship struggles. I work with clients to bring awareness to their body, mind, and spirit to assist them in growing a deeper sense of their stories and desires. My ultimate goal is that you will have a growing sense of what it means for you to engage your world with a deepening sense of aliveness.

Despite a positive shift towards the acceptability of getting help with emotional and relationship challenges, I believe that it is still a courageous act to take the step to reach out to a therapist.
I work with clients to clarify their goals and then figure out what we can do to support those goals and identify anything that has been interfering with achieving those goals. In other words, I start with focusing on the future, not the past. I prioritize understanding over suggestions because I believe that once people understand what they want they will make healthy choices.

Therapy is typically not one-size-fits-all and works best when the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and client is collaborative and personable.
Life presents challenges for us to overcome and grow from, but what if it is unclear for us to know what to do? If you find yourself struggling with gaining clarity, fears of failing or missing out, or not knowing where to start, let's work together to define or reimagine what success means to you and give you the tools to keep moving forward.

What if you could make your life the way you want it to be? Would you like to overcome loneliness, self-doubt, anxiety, fear of failure, hopelessness, relationship difficulties? Many times our discontent in the present is tethered to traumatic events in our past. If you suffered trauma as a child or as an adult, chances are you have adapted and survived but you may not be currently thriving. The deeper the wounding, the more profound the negative impacts can be in your present life. The miracle of therapy offers you the power to rewrite your past and reprogram your future.

I am a trauma and couples therapist seeing clients in person and online.
Why do I feel so numb? Why do I have sudden outbursts, followed by long depressive slumps? Why do I feel constantly on edge? What’s wrong with me? Do you find yourself asking these questions again and again, without ever getting anywhere? Are you overwhelmed by a sense of guilt and shame? Do you struggle with intense reactions, avoidance, or feeling fundamentally broken? If so, it’s likely that you’re experiencing the impact of trauma. Or maybe you're at odds with your partner, rehashing the same arguments, only to feel more distant, and more lost.

I also work with couples and families who experience continual conflict, blocked intimacy, emotional connection & parenting issues.
Isolation is the killer. For many, influences to pivot away from isolation and towards healing, connection, and growth are complex, challenging, and hopeful. My clients are invited to explore their “painful wounds” and discover how their pain’s influence leads to self-identity issues, certain behaviors, relationship constraints, and patterns that decrease movement toward growth. Growth towards living with a whole heart of emotions, less ambiguity, finding increased purpose, and engaged relationships. Growth towards self-compassion and employing in their lives what they value most.

No current openings. My waitlist is approx. 2 months, please reach out for placement and referrals. I spent a lot of time making this page perfect, then realized it was boring. This page is supposed to be a snapshot of what you will get in the therapy room. I’m warm, inviting, and funny, and I value this intimate space. I want this page to help you decide if we’ll work well together, not just list what I’ve done. And what you probably want to know is (a) Do I know what I'm doing? and (b) What inspires me to work with clients around anxiety, trauma, and family-of-origin issues?

I have over twenty years of experience working with adults of all ages, both individuals and couples.
Just about everyone experiences difficult times in their lives. Sometimes these are temporary, such as during or after a life transition, and sometimes these are more chronic where we become stuck. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, work or school concerns, or something else, I imagine you are seeking help because you are not feeling the way you wish to feel. I also imagine that you have hope that it can get better.

Has that sense of being close and connected changed to feeling more distant and roommate like? If you're ready to reclaim your relationship back from the negative patterns that keep you stuck, I am here to help.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
