I believe whatever you come in with—identity uncertainty, trauma, relationship conflict, and brain/mental health challenges—these are life’s opportunities for us to grow. Whether you or a family member are navigating identity questions, processing trauma, working through relationship difficulties, managing biologically and environmentally based mental health challenges (such as ADHD, autism, or related concerns), or also dealing with anxiety, depression, OCD, or other issues, there is hope. I use non-judgmental, trauma and science informed approaches to help you or your child overcome these challenges and thrive.

I am a PhD clinician on the Nowlogy Edina team with a background in developmental psychology. I provide therapy and assessment for children, preteens, teens, and adults of all ages. I am especially attentive to the individual needs of clients and those experiencing neurodiversity/mental health challenges, and I also work with a wide range of other concerns including depression, anxiety, OCD, trauma and PTSD, life transitions, family issues, and parenting support.

Sometimes life can be hard, but suffering does not have to last forever. I draw from science-based therapies, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), Many trauma-focused approaches, and Parent Management Training (PMT).  I match my approach to you or your child’s individual needs, strengths, and goals. Together we identify unhelpful patterns, strengthen emotional regulation and executive skills, improve relationships, clarify what matters most, and create meaningful, realistic change.

My approach is warm, nonjudgmental, collaborative, practical, and affirming. I also offer assistance to caregivers using evidence-based tools for behavior management, stress reduction, and positive family dynamics. If I am unavailable, I highly recommend our other warm and compassionate Nowlogy doctors.

As a relationally oriented clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience in therapy and assessments, I strive to deliver high-quality care using an evidence-based and culturally sensitive framework. I offer a warm, compassionate, and supportive environment. As an Asian American woman and first-generation immigrant, I know how important it is to honor the intersectionalities of our identities. In my clinical work, I help individuals explore and strengthen their sense of self so that they become their own agent of change in finding solutions to their problems and enhancing meaning in their lives.

Professionally, I have worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds and identities across a range of clinical presentations, including adolescents, adults, and families dealing with anxiety, physical symptoms of anxiety/panic, depression, trauma, ADHD, OCD, acculturation and immigration issues, academic and career stress, Asian + American mental health, and women’s mental health issues. I also provide affirming mental health care to the BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities. Inspired by my own personal experiences, I am passionate about empowering women and new parents in finding their inner source of resilience and self-compassion as they embark in different seasons of life.

My therapeutic approach integrates a strengths-based model using empirically supported treatment, including acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapies, multiculturalism, and solution-focused therapy. The foundation of these approaches is to teach individuals skills to enhance their ability to notice and make room for thoughts and feelings, especially those difficult ones, and choose to take effective action towards important life goals and align with personal values.

It would be an honor to have the opportunity to build a healing, non-judgmental, and nurturing space with you and to support you in fostering a more joyful, attuned, and intentional way to live life. The motto I often reference is to live happy, healthy, and well in whatever ways that are meaningful to you!

Hello! I am a clinical psychologist with expertise in helping kids, teens, young adults (ages 18-26), and parents tap in to their natural capabilities and move effectively through the waves of life’s messy moments with curiosity, clarity, resilience, and compassion.

I take a collaborative and practical approach rooted in evidence‑based, whole‑person care. With over two decades of experience, I am passionate using what science and lived experiences teach us about your mind-body connection and the role that your natural strengths can play in finding your way to better tomorrows. Depending upon your needs, we might draw from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mind‑body and integrative approaches, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), clinical hypnosis, or Attachment‑Based Family Therapy (ABFT).

I am a trauma‑informed, identity‑affirming provider who supports clients facing a wide range of concerns. Together, we’ll make space for difficult experiences, strengthen strategies to foster resilience, and learn to move through intense thoughts and emotions in more safe and effective ways.

I enjoy working with folks who have a range of presenting concerns, particularly those identifying as neurodivergent (Autism Spectrum Disorders, ADHD, learning differences, developmental delays, twice‑exceptional profiles, intellectual disabilities) and their parents/ families. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and strive to create an inclusive, affirming space for individuals of all identities and lived experiences, including LGBTQ+ clients and those shaped by cultural, racial, or systemic factors.

Understanding and harnessing strengths, navigating challenges, and building in strategies that support thriving, not just surviving, are common focal points. Alternatively, given the complexities of today’s family landscapes, our work may center around supporting intentional, compassionate and effective parenting across all stages of parenthood.

I also see clients for Functional Somatic Disorders (FSD), Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), or other Psychosomatic or Functional health symptoms; Health psychology; and family conflict and parenting challenges.

Life can feel demanding and overwhelming. My hope is to offer a therapeutic experience that feels grounded, compassionate, genuine, and safe—one in which you will feel seen, heard, inspired and unconditionally accepted. Together, we’ll clarify what matters most to you and take thoughtful, achievable steps toward lasting growth.

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.

Life is about living, not coping, not managing symptoms. That is my mission: to help people I work with get unstuck so they can live life again. As a psychology superfan, I am excited about teaching individuals about psychology, the science, and how that science can help you live more fully. I work to tailor effective psychology treatments to each person’s unique needs and situations. With intentional listening, I work to incorporate psychology, education, and skills into each conversation, drawing from your interests, hobbies, and values. I especially love working with people who have complex health concerns and those individuals who have felt dismissed, judged, or “gaslit” by other (usually) well intentioned medical specialists.

In my work in Pediatric Psychology and Health Psychology, I teach individuals, kids and adults, who have health concerns how to retrain their nervous system to feel better. I help people sleep more soundly by creating customized sleep routines and meditation recordings. Focusing on values and ways to be in this moment, I can help you feel less stressed and more present in the day to day. Our brains try really hard to keep us safe, and sometimes they overreact, causing anxiety. I connect education about why anxiety happens with humor to help you feel better, and more calm.

I welcome clients of all backgrounds and especially enjoy working with those managing complex health needs, chronic symptoms, or feeling unheard in medical settings. Whether in person or over telehealth, I look forward to helping you reclaim a fuller, calmer, more meaningful life.
