New Providers Coming Soon

Reaching out for therapy can feel challenging, especially when you have been carrying worry, stress, or emotional pain for a long time. You may feel overwhelmed by daily responsibilities, disconnected in your relationships, or stuck in patterns you want to change. You do not have to work through these challenges alone. I offer a warm, supportive space where you can feel heard, better understand yourself, and find practical ways to move forward.

I earned my PhD from Idaho State University and bring extensive clinical experience supporting adults with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, substance use, grief and loss, and trauma. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, tailored to your needs, strengths, and goals. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help you understand unhelpful patterns, manage difficult emotions, strengthen relationships, and take steps toward a more fulfilling life.

I believe effective therapy begins with a trusting relationship where you feel comfortable being yourself. Together, we will explore what is getting in the way, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools to navigate life’s challenges. Whether you are seeking relief from ongoing distress or support through a difficult season, we will work toward changes that reflect what matters most to you. I offer therapy in English and Mandarin.

Starting therapy can feel daunting, whether it's your first time or you've done it before. With about a decade of experience, I've learned that the relationship between the therapist and the client is where the most meaningful work happens. I bring a multicultural lens to my practice, honoring each client's unique and intersecting identities, values, and lived experiences as we work through life's challenges together.

I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and identity exploration. My approach is collaborative and tailored to each client’s unique needs, background, and goals. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you recognize and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, and mindfulness to build awareness of your thoughts and emotions with less judgment. I incorporate somatic techniques to explore the connection between physical sensations and emotions, grounding practices to help you feel more present during distress, and visualization to encourage relaxation and prepare for challenging situations.

I believe in the healing power of being heard and seen, and in authentic human connection. Together, we can identify what is getting in the way and build fuller, healthier relationships and lives.

If anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma, relationship conflict, or a sense of hopelessness has been running your life, you don’t have to untangle it alone or blame yourself. I enjoy working with tweens, teens, adults, and families. I start by listening carefully to your story, your background, and what your experiences mean to you.

I explain what’s happening in the brain and body in plain language so that guilt and self-blame can give way to clearer understanding. From there, we draw on proven approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to build practical tools for managing thoughts, emotions, and stress. If you’re stuck in unwanted thoughts and habits you can’t shake, I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), a well-established treatment for OCD that helps you face fears without relying on rituals.

When trauma is part of your experience, we don’t rush into the hardest memories. I first help you develop steady calming and coping skills tailored to your specific triggers—whether sounds, smells, sights, or other cues. Then, at a pace that feels safe, we can use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) or gentle exposure approaches to ease the emotional intensity of painful memories over time. My background includes years of hospital-based work, collaboration with physicians when helpful, and ongoing research into emotion regulation and related challenges, so the care you receive is both compassionate and grounded in current science.

My approach is collaborative, moves at your pace, and centers on self-compassion and lasting skills. Whether you’re a tween or teen navigating difficult feelings, an adult carrying earlier hurts, a parent seeking support for your child, or a family working through shared challenges, you can expect warm, research-informed care focused on helping you feel understood and more capable. As a bilingual native speaker of English and Spanish, I also work well with multicultural individuals and families.

At some point, most people encounter experiences that challenge their sense of safety, connection, or identity. Whether you are struggling with the effects of trauma, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or stress, grieving a loss, or finding yourself stuck in recurring relationship patterns, seeking support is a courageous first step. I strive to create a space where clients feel understood, respected, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives.

My clinical work is guided by a deep appreciation for the ways that resilience develops within individuals, families, and communities. Trained in India as well as the United States, I integrate evidence-based approaches while tailoring treatment to each person's values, culture, and lived experiences. I view therapy as a collaborative process—one that honors both the difficulties you have endured and the strengths you bring with you.

My areas of specialty include trauma and PTSD, anxiety, relationship and couples counseling, grief and loss, and adjustment to major life transitions. I am especially passionate about helping individuals and families heal from difficult experiences that continue to affect their relationships, sense of self, and emotional well-being. I also specialize in supporting veterans and military families, first responders, survivors of violence, immigrants, refugees, and people who experience trauma-related dissociation. I offer therapy in both English and Hindi.

I believe healing often emerges from holding two seemingly opposing truths at once: that we are worthy of compassion exactly as we are, and that meaningful growth requires us to engage in the difficult work of change. To support this process, I draw from evidence-based approaches including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Gottman Method Couples Therapy. Regardless of the approach, I strive to provide care that is trauma-informed and tailored to each person's unique experiences and goals.

My hope is to help you find healing, deepen your relationships, and move forward with greater confidence, flexibility, and self-compassion.
