Meet Shilpa

Therapy is a collaborative place for finding support in healing, developing self-awareness, and working towards your goals. It is a collaborative process providing an opportunity to bring awareness to how past experiences are affecting current struggles. In our sessions together, we will work towards identifying your goals and meeting your needs while working on healing, developing self-awareness, and practicing self-compassion. My experience working with adults from diverse backgrounds and age groups in community-based and outpatient settings informs my culturally sensitive approach.
