~Life is a balance of holding on and letting go~ Rumi

Are you living a balanced life? What is your story?

Often, our path in life gets off balance when we encounter major life transitions, work stress, relationships struggles, family conflicts, complicated grief and loss and addictions. When we experience existential concerns, identity crisis, cultural distress, it affects us deeply, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and often stuck. Seeking the right help is pivotal in working through, accessing meaning behind the suffering and looking ahead with hope.

Hi, I am licensed to provide both mental health and addiction counseling in NC with 20 years of experience. I am trained in best practice modalities of CBT, DBT, EMDR, CPT, MI, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy which I utilize to assist my clients gain insight into their struggles, learn to modulate emotions, practice healthy coping skills to manage symptoms, problem solve challenges and manifest in sustaining healthy lifestyles. Additionally, my lived experience as a first generation South Asian immigrant, a working parent who has processed her own life transitions and stuck points to seek meaningful growth, is a part of my authentic approach in counseling where I seek to empower and guide my clients in their healing journey. I am trans and LGBTQIA+ informed and committed to providing affirming, inclusive care.

I specialize working with older teens, adults, and couples.

My therapeutic style honors trauma informed, non-judgmental, culturally competent, compassionate, therapeutic guidance to assist you with engaging in a purposeful, vibrant life!

I believe meaningful healing begins when individuals feel seen, heard, and understood. As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, I bring over four years of clinical counseling experience, along with more than twenty-two years as a school psychologist, to support children, individuals, and families.

With more than two decades in education, I became deeply aware of how essential mental health support is for children and families. I witnessed firsthand how emotional challenges can affect learning, relationships, and overall well-being—and how transformative the right support can be.

These experiences led me to pursue a career in mental health counseling. Today, I partner with adults to help them build a strong, grounded foundation for themselves, one that naturally extends to their children and strengthens the family as a whole. I also remain committed to supporting teens as they enter adulthood, helping them develop the tools and confidence needed for lifelong well-being.
