New Providers Coming Soon

Life is about living fully—not just coping with symptoms or pushing through challenges alone. My work is dedicated to helping the women I serve get unstuck, move toward clarity and confidence, reconnect with their strengths, and build lives aligned with their values and goals. I specialize in supporting women through life transitions, professional burnout, infertility, addiction, and disability‑related challenges.

My clinical approach is shaped by my experience within the VA and by my work in community behavioral health, where I gained a close understanding of how trauma, chronic stress, and major life challenges affect women’s wellbeing. This background gives me a practical, real‑world perspective that informs the compassionate, evidence‑based care I provide as women navigate some of life’s most difficult moments.

I earned my PhD from Bowling Green State University in 2007 and completed my predoctoral internship at the West Los Angeles VA Healthcare System, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at the VA Puget Sound Healthcare System’s Center of Excellence in Substance Addiction Treatment and Education (CESATE) in Seattle. I later transitioned to county‑level work, developing and overseeing programs that support individuals with mental health and substance use needs who come into contact with the criminal legal system. My work centers on expanding access to behavioral health services, strengthening community‑based supports, and improving pathways to stability and recovery for individuals navigating complex systems.

Across these roles, I’ve built a clinical perspective rooted in trauma‑informed care and developed a deep appreciation for our ability to thrive when we have access to care that supports healing, growth, and moving through major life challenges with strength and steadiness.

Outside the therapy room, I am a proud mom who finds joy in hiking, gardening, and spending time with family. I love getting lost in a great book or film. These passions keep me grounded and remind me daily of the importance of balance and a full life beyond our struggles.

I am excited to bring my experience and passion for personalized, compassionate care to the Nowlogy team. I warmly welcome women seeking support with stress, burnout, life transitions, infertility, addiction, and emotional patterns that can make daily life feel overwhelming or unsteady.

Change can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate it alone. From our first meeting, we will work together to create a treatment plan based on your unique needs, goals, and experiences. Whether you are navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, or the impact of trauma, my approach is grounded in evidence-based assessment and treatment tailored specifically to you. Together, we will build understanding, develop practical skills, and help you move toward the life you want to live.

I specialize in anxiety-spectrum disorders, including anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), hoarding, panic disorder, and specific phobias. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), I help clients understand and address the thoughts, behaviors, and emotions contributing to anxiety.

I also specialize in trauma-focused therapy, helping clients process traumatic experiences and heal from their impact. I provide evidence-based trauma treatments including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (weekly and intensive), Narrative Exposure Therapy, and Written Exposure Therapy. I have specialized training working with veteran populations, perinatal trauma, and chronic or multiple trauma histories, including Complex PTSD (C-PTSD).

My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I help clients strengthen emotional regulation, improve relationships, and develop coping skills so that past experiences do not have to define the present or future. I prioritize creating a safe, affirming, and accessible space for all identities and backgrounds, including race, gender, sexuality, disability, and lived experience.

I have experience supporting clients with PTSD, OCD/hoarding, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, specific phobias, substance use concerns, gender-affirming care, women's health concerns, and other mental health challenges.

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.
