Introduction

I specialize in working with adolescents and adults navigating life transitions, grief, ADHD (in both children and adults), depression, anxiety, and stress. As a first-generation Asian Indian raised in the United States, I bring both personal and professional insight into the culturally and socially sensitive experiences of immigrant families. With over 20 years of clinical experience, I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, including insight-oriented therapy, solution-focused work, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, and relaxation skills training. My warm, empathic, and collaborative style allows me to connect with clients in a genuine, supportive, and respectful way. I look forward to speaking with you about how we might work together to support your goals. Please feel free to reach out to schedule an initial consultation.
