I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) with over 30 years of experience in high-tech engineering, product management, and leadership. As a first-generation Indian immigrant with Master’s degrees in Engineering and Business Management, I bring a unique blend of analytical thinking, cultural sensitivity, empathy, and life experience to my work as a therapist. After a successful corporate career, I transitioned into counseling, guided by a lifelong passion for human connection, personal growth, and service to others. My therapeutic approach is compassionate, collaborative, culturally responsive, and strengths-based. Drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed practices, I help individuals and couples navigate relationship and parenting challenges, anxiety, depression, grief, professional pressures, and life transitions. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered. I earned my MA in Mental Health Counseling from Palo Alto University and am registered with the California Board of Behavioral Sciences. Having been married for over 35 years and raised two adult children, I bring a personal appreciation for the complexities of relationships and family life. My goal is to help clients cultivate self-awareness, emotional resilience, and meaningful connections.
