About My Clients
You put everyone else first, replay or rehearse conversations, say yes when you want to say no, and are hard on yourself. Then the resentment builds, and it comes out as a blowup or a shutdown. Then you feel awful about it, and the loop starts again. I help you get curious about why you are stuck, address the root of the issues and collaborate on creative problem solving. My clients are overthinkers, anxious, people pleasers, self-aware, empaths, ADHDers, or suspect they could have ADHD.
My Background and Approach
Sustainable change includes mind AND body. I use CBT, IFS/Parts Work & Somatic Experiencing to get to the core of understanding you and helping you shift your behaviors. If you've ever felt anger 0-60, shut down from overwhelm, or get stuck in anxiety you can't shake off - somatic/body work holds the key to understanding why and to change behavior intentionally. I am a bilingual 1.5 Generation Indian-American woman. I have done the work and will continue to as mental health is an ever evolving life-long journey like physical health. Healing is a dual mind-body approach, which requires addressing both our belief systems as well as the trauma stored in our body. We will curiously collaborate on identifying thoughts that contribute to your current struggles, challenge and reframe them to aligned ones. I’ll guide you through processing your emotional wounds from a holistic feeling/body centered approach for long-lasting healing rather than offering quick band-aid solutions to manage it.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Maybe you know your pattern, but you still can't help repeating them. Maybe a part of you says you should do one thing, but another part of you self-sabotages. Maybe you feel you are not good enough or are too much. Maybe you struggle to find your footing between the culture of your family and the culture of the country you live in. Maybe life feels just a bit harder for you and there's a diagnosis like ADHD can make you feel heard. Maybe you are figuring out your gender or sexual identity and how to live that authentically. I've done therapy myself as I worked through being a people pleaser, avoidant, explosive, shut down, and stuck in cycles I couldn't get out of, all which took a toll on my health - so I get it. I've felt frustrated and broken. I did the hard work and will continue to do so. Come as you are - afraid, anxious, unsure where to begin - it's all welcome! When you learn how to understand connect the mind and body, you can live intentionally and authentically.
