Introduction

What does therapy mean to you? What makes it so beneficial? How many thoughts, feelings, expectations, questions are you noticing as you take the first step in finding the “right” therapist? One that understands you. You are not alone. Therapy is a collaborative relationship in which I cultivate an open and non-judgmental atmosphere to equip you in facilitating change, fostering vulnerability, and promoting a rich and meaningful life. Whether you want to work towards specific life goals, change, or stressors including complex trauma, cultural issues, anxiety, depression and psychosis, I strive to guide you through the process. My goal is to help you become the best version of you through managing your emotions and living a values driven life. I am a South Asian Licensed Professional Counselor, Level 2 Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional who practices a holistic, strengths-based, and integrative approach. I utilize different treatment modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Somatic approaches, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) while individualizing interventions based on identity and cultural backgrounds. Contact me for a free 15-minute phone consultation to see if we are a good fit.
