Feeling a certain level of anxiety over big stressors or certain life events is totally normal. However, if you find that your fear or worry does not go away and, in fact, gets worse over time, you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder. Mild anxiety is vague and unsettling and often passes quickly, while severe anxiety can seriously affect your day-to-day life. If you are finding your anxiety unmanageable, can’t identify the cause of your anxious feelings or if you are suffering from physical symptoms (such as heart palpations, fatigue, sweaty hands, upset stomach, or insomnia), it may be time to get help. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s anxiety specialists today.
Are you or your child feeling anxious all the time? Always on high alert, edgy and ready to snap? Have you been through a traumatic or stressful event and have a hard time coping? Do you feel hopeless, stuck, lost or unmoored? Is your child acting out, and you can’t figure out why? These symptoms are our soul’s way of letting us know we need support. I can help you safely work through difficult issues and experiences, and learn new skills to effectively make your way through this complex world.

I have a special passion for working with artists and creative professionals as they wrestle with fears, fantasies, depressions, manias, and all the challenges not only of making art but of making a living through art. I also love working with adolescents — how I wish I'd had a therapist when I was in high school! — as well as folks working through addiction and recovery. I also work with couples of all stripes and with patients who are, like me, part of the LGBTQIA+ community.

If you're looking for a holistic and practical approach to healing, we are likely a good fit for each other! I often attract young adults who are struggling with feelings of anxiety, past trauma, and want to live a more meaningful life because I have struggled in these exact areas and have similar intentions myself. I value practicing what I preach and offer support in the ways that have been most helpful in my own life.

Have you noticed that it's in the places you are supposed to be most relaxed (meditation, vacation, weekends, sleep) that your mind feels louder than ever? It might feel like the idea of letting your thoughts go is meant for “normal” people and that does not include you. Maybe you stand guard to keep yourself from your worst case, as if your attention to your thoughts keeps you from descending into unimaginable fear. I can help you sift through the noise and regain your confidence in yourself.

Couples and singles are all strained by the emotional toll of life stress, societal or familial expectations. It does not have to be that way. Relationships can heal and grow if that's what you are looking for. Find ways to talk with out argument, work through difficulties without that tension, to laugh, smile and build romance. I specialize in working with Artists, Creatives, High Performers and Media and all that entails.

Therapy is successful when you have a therapist who understands you AND knows how to help you. I work with men and women navigating relationships, marriage, anxiety/depression, major life transitions, and family conflicts all while trying to integrate two very different cultures – the one we’re born into and the one we’re living in. As a South Asian woman and a therapist for over 7 years, I understand how culture plays a huge role in our unique challenges and expectations.

Are you tired of traditional talk therapy? Overwhelmed with feelings of anxiety, or fear and panic? You might be suffering from the trauma of an abusive or neglectful childhood (developmental trauma). Or, as an adult, from the shock of recent or acute, traumatic events. I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, low self-esteem, and life transitions.

In working with individuals, I use attachment, systemic, and trauma informed approaches. If you are an individual struggling with chronic stress, codependency, perfectionism, or difficulty establishing an authentic sense of self, these symptoms can often be the result of current or past relationship dynamics that can be addressed and changed. I have training in both Gottman and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy models in working with couples on issues from infidelity to communication issues.

The individuals and couples I see are usually creative folks from a multitude of cultural backgrounds. I welcome all genders, races, sexual orientations, and/or relationship styles. Most are looking for greater self-actualization, and many struggle with anxiety, quality of relationships, intimacy, depression, history of trauma, familial conflict, creativity, life transitions, and career issues. I also enjoy working with parent/child dyads, siblings, even friends who seek help in relationship.

Do you feel like you're life could use a tune-up but you're not sure where to start? Do you feel like you could use help navigating your relationships, at work or home? Sometimes a fresh set of eyes and ears can be a great help in getting to know yourself better and getting you on the road to a more fulfilling existence. I know what it means to feel stuck and overwhelmed and I look forward to helping you start to untangle outdated ways of coping so you can live fuller and with more ease.

In this increasingly “good vibes only” culture, do you feel that you need to hide parts of yourself in order to fit in or be included in the group? Do you feel like you’re either too much or not enough? Like you’re the black sheep in your family or with your friends? You may have been thrown into an adult role as a child, having to emotionally care for your parent or caregiver, at the expense of your own emotional development, growth, or even safety. If this sounds familiar, there is hope.

My clients are usually artists, lawyers, and young professionals who struggle with depression, anxiety, and / or bipolar disorder. They are often burdened with high stress, burnout, or creative blocks and have tried to help themselves but don't see the deeper changes they sought, so they reach out to me. My hope is that our work together will untangle what you're feeling and help you feel more content.

I help first-time therapy-seeking professional Asian Americans stop making lists of why they should be happy and go after the things that make them happy. You’re here because you don’t want to repeat your family’s trauma history. Maybe you have done some inner healing work on yourself, but still, feel like you need more guidance. Maybe you lived your whole life with the mindset of “It is what it is” and yet you can’t shake the tension in your chest and notice the conflict within yourself.

You are constantly on the go, juggling two or three things at the same time including the help you offer others because you can’t stop yourself. What will others say to your “No’s, what would they think of you? You fear their judgment. Sometimes, you just want to be left alone. You sometimes snap at people you love and then feel guilty. You don’t enjoy life like you used to. Where is the motivation you had before? I will help you feel more confident and have healthier relationships.
