In these times of change and uncertainty, many individuals are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, sad, stressed, unmotivated and sometimes, hopeless and helpless. Reaching out for therapy is a brave, first step. I believe that successful therapy is rooted in the positive, working relationships I form with my clients.

I provide much more than traditional talk therapy and help clients achieve better results in life.

Are you struggling with the painful remnants of a recent break up, seeking to put an end to unhealthy relationship patterns and/or facing difficult childhood experiences holding you back from moving forward? Perhaps you're worried about seeking therapy due to cultural stigma or finding yourself at odds with cultural expectations placed on you by society? Born in India, raised in New York, I recognize the unique pressures and conflicts faced by individuals caught between two seemingly opposing cultural identities. I utilize a multicultural lens that provides a safe space to explore these internal and external sources of tension.

People choose to work with me for my honest, non-judgmental communication style. I work to create an environment for self-exploration and personal growth to take place.

Trying to pick the right therapist can be a challenge. You can think of our first meeting more like a conversation, where we will go over what you are experiencing and how I can help you materialize your goals, values, and priorities. I offer a safe, comfortable, and compassionate space where we can explore how to reduce your suffering and help you get to where you want to be. For years, I have made it my purpose to help others resolve their internal pain and heartache. Although I tailor my approach for each client, I tend to consistently utilize EMDR, psychodynamic, gestalt, DBT, and narrative theoretical orientations.

My theoretical orientation is integrative, which means I use a combination of humanistic, solution-focused, person-centered, cognitive behavioral, mindfulness based /contemplative approaches, stress management, and insight oriented techniques-depending on the needs of the client. I understand how critical the relationship between client and therapist is to the success of the therapeutic experience. As such, my hope always is to provide a warm, empathetic, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment-one in which my clients will feel safe and encouraged to build trust and work towards self-empowerment. To that end, I employ a collaborative, strengths-oriented approach.

Finding the right psychotherapist is challenging and can be a lengthy process. Once the search is completed, and the therapy is under way, it will become rewarding and healing. My approach to psychotherapy is mindful, accepting and supportive. Trained in individual, couple, and family therapy, complex trauma, as well as clinical medicine and public health epidemiology, I provide treatment from an individualized integrative perspective, based on what is most beneficial to each person. My cultural and crosscultural perspectives allow me to also factor in the cultural impact on human behavior.

I can facilitate use of spirituality and help people connect to meaning in their lives.

Much like Irvin Yalom, an American existential psychotherapist, I too believe that therapy must be individually crafted. We each walk a unique path and on it, we need support.

I take a holistic approach to therapy and am a strong believer in exploring innovative modalities to healing such as mindfulness, somatic work, and creative expression.
