Therapist

Seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) providing telehealth across Ohio, I offer a warm, collaborative, and practical space for adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, OCD, and major life transitions. Drawing on evidence-based therapies like CBT, DBT, and ACT—along with a touch of humor and authenticity—I focus on honoring the strengths you already possess while helping you build effective tools for growth. In our work together, you can expect an empowering environment where you feel truly heard and supported. Christian faith integration is available upon request.

Therapist

“A warm, real therapist and proud mother, born and raised in India and shaped by life on three continents. I help children, adults, older adults, and couples become the authors of their own stories, using narrative, feminist, and IFS-informed approaches alongside CBT and mindfulness.”


I’m a therapist who believes you are the expert on your own life. My job is to walk beside you as you find your voice, set healthy boundaries, and learn to love and nurture yourself.

I’m an LPCC-S in Ohio with a master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and I’m completing my PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision. For seven years I’ve worked with children, adolescents, adults, older adults, and couples, in person and by telehealth, in community mental health and outpatient settings.

Before counseling, I was a teacher and school administrator. Born and raised in India, I lived and worked in Uganda for more than fifteen years before moving to Ohio in 2017 to train as a counselor. That journey gave me a multicultural perspective and showed me how deeply culture and family shape our stories. I’m proud to be a mother, and my own experience of fighting cancer deepened my compassion for people facing trauma and questions of meaning.

Therapist

I know starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’re not quite sure where to begin or how to put what you’re feeling into words. My goal is to create a space where you can show up as you are and feel comfortable being yourself.

I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I work primarily with adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship concerns, and the general feeling of being stuck or overwhelmed. I especially enjoy working with young adults who are trying to figure out who they are, what they want, and how to navigate all the changes that come with adulthood.
