I believe that change happens when a healer is present for her client with her complete being and this connection transcends the barrier of distance and physical space.

My Therapy Style

Practicing healing arts for over 2 decades, my therapy style is an eclectic combination of Eastern & Western healing modalities. I received my training both in India and USA and have practiced in both these democracies. From Western Perspective, I utilize Brain-focused approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. From Eastern Perspective, I utilize Somatic Approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Brainspotting, Mindfulness, and Yoga Philosophy. I believe that change happens when a healer is present for her client with her complete being and this connection transcends the barrier of distance and physical space.

Get to Know Me

Why did you become a mental health professional?

Growing up in India, I lived in a multi-generational household with my uncles and aunts. This upbringing exposed me to the challenges of living with family members who faced mental health and disability issues, shedding light on how these issues affect the entire family dynamic. Additionally, my awareness of human suffering from an early age made me keenly attuned to the struggles and pain endured by those around me. As someone who is solution-oriented, I sought answers to empower individuals in coping with their difficulties, fueling my aspiration to become a mental health professional.

What are your interests outside of work?

Listening to music (Country and Bollywood music are my favorites), dancing (again Bollywood ), cooking interesting meals, and chatting with my kids on various topics. I also enjoy collecting crystals and making jewelry.

What is one thing you do daily that supports your well-being?

Exercise almost on a daily basis along with meditation twice a day.

What book have you read more than once?

Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle to learn about the power of living in the here and now.

Favorite organization/non-profit?

How do you recharge?

Going on walks, taking baths, or listening to soothing music helps me to recharge.
