About My Clients

I have experience working with adults dealing with anxiety, depressive disorders, mood disorders, PTSD, and relationship issues, amongst other concerns. I work with adults of all different ages. My ideal client would be someone who is ready to address what they are dealing with and is open and willing to make changes in their life.

My Background and Approach

I utilize therapeutic approaches such as parts work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, among others. I prioritize building a healthy, trusting, and warm therapeutic relationship with my clients, tailoring my approach to their unique concerns and goals.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that it is important to empower individuals to identify strengths and abilities that they already have to face anything that life can throw at them. My experience as an Indian-American immigrant gives me a unique ability to understand the difficulty in being different from what society is considered the "norm" as well as the ability to understand how various factors of identity could impact daily life. I also prioritize anti-oppressive practice which includes acknowledging and challenging power imbalances within society that could in turn impact mental health.
