I’ve been providing counseling since the 1990s. I hold a doctorate in Counseling Psychology. I’m also a tenured psychology professor. My clients tend to share certain worries and concerns that might best be summed up as feeling a sense of meaninglessness, being unproductive, and not relating well with others. I work with both individuals and couples. Among my clients are young adults trying to sort things out, medically compromised patients, adults waylaid by life and relationship transitions, and people struggling with anxiety and depression.

My specialty is Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and I am passionate about teaching it.

It has been my privilege to provide therapy services to veterans and their families for the past 17 years, and I have been honored to gain a variety of evidence-based therapies to address the conditions of the individuals and families I have worked with over the years.

I believe that healing happens within a safe and collaborative relationship, and I take pride in being of service to others and feel honored to support individuals and their families as they work toward recovery, resilience, and improved well-being.

I'm a first generation, South Asian woman. I'm a passionate expressive arts-integrative therapist. I best serve women, ages 25-35, who are coping with life stressors, trauma, or adjusting to a new phase in life. This journey isn't linear and can feel lonely and confusing, and the waves can be hard to manage. If you enjoy being in a validating and empathetic space while focusing on your strengths and creativity, I look forward to supporting you in finding tools to help you ride the waves. :)
'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with experience supporting children, teens, adults, and families through anxiety, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, relationship challenges, and parenting stress. Clients often describe me as warm, authentic, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to. I believe therapy works best when people feel genuinely understood, and I see my role as helping clients make sense of themselves—their experiences, emotions, relationships, and strengths—so they can create meaningful change. As a wife and mother, I understand firsthand the complexities of balancing family, stress, identity, and caregiving.
