Introduction

I offer a free 20-min consult - just reach out via the contact form! Physical and emotional health are deeply connected. Maybe you haven't slept well in months and you're snapping at the people you love. Maybe pain has become so constant that you've stopped doing the things that used to matter to you. If you've tried pushing through depression, trauma triggers, anxiety, or bad sleep, only to find yourself more stuck, you're not alone. Whatever emotional challenges you are working through, I welcome the opportunity to support you toward healing. After a comprehensive intake session, we’ll identify well-worn patterns in your behaviors, thoughts, and feelings that just aren’t working anymore. We'll explore what matters most to you, and I'll support you in building a life guided by those values, even when pain shows up along the way. As a second-generation Marathi-American, I recognize the unique pressures that can arise around family expectations, identity, career, dating, marriage, sexual orientation, aging, and parenting in the South Asian community. Therapy has historically felt like a “White space,” but we all deserve support without having to “translate” our selves to our providers. I operate from a place of cultural humility and gratitude to anyone bravely overcoming cultural stigma around seeking mental health treatment.
