About Me

I am a Indian-American Clinical Therapist. Born in India and raised in Southern California, with small stints in Atlanta, Nashville, Denver, the Central Coast, and New York. I think of myself as a nationally nomadic individual. I graduated from NYU - Silver School of Social Work and obtained employment at Mount Sinai Hospital. When the pandemic hit us, I decided to add virtual therapy and loved the connections with Clients and the individualized clinical work. This inspired me to pivot my career as a full time therapist.

Apart from my therapeutic self, I truly enjoy being present and focused in building my personal life. That includes decorating and designing spaces that are welcoming and comfortable, hiking and yoga, traveling abroad, loving my pup (Kulfi), a good conversation and hang with friends, and playing Carrom (although I am awful at it).

My Therapeutic Style

Every therapist has a different approach and style. I’ve been trained and studied numerous evidence based practices (Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Crisis Management, Solution Oriented, Problem Solving, and Mindfulness, etc.), but I am eclectic in my approach and borrow from numerous practices to make sessions feel like a conversation. Being South Asian, I also add cultural elements and understanding that can deviate from westernized approaches.

I start off validating and reflecting with you in order to get to know you and how you see the world. As we build rapport, I present the challenging questions and provide positive confrontation. If you are ready for your therapeutic journey, contact me below!
