To quote one of my favorite authors:

“If you are uncomfortable—in deep pain, angry, yearning, confused —you don’t have a problem, you have a life. Being human is not hard because you’re doing it wrong, it’s hard because you’re doing it right. You will never change the fact that being human is hard, so you must change your idea that it was ever supposed to be easy.” – Glennon Doyle

As an Indian American clinician from a large immigrant family, I understand the complexity of navigating multiple identities and the unique mental health challenges faced by individuals with diverse backgrounds, both culturally and beyond. I also recognize the stigma around seeking support in our communities and the strength it takes to reach out.

I'm a Licensed Master Social Worker. I've worked with the vulnerable and underserved population for over 14 years; clients who have suffered from severe and persistent mental illnesses. Therapy can sometimes take us to uncomfortable places, but I've learned that wonderfulthings can happen outside of our comfort zone. I believe in the idea of mindfulness and handling ourselves/others with grace. I work collaboratively with my clients, by utilizing their strengths to help stimulate change and progress. I have a client-centered approach; which seeks to empower and guide the development of self-awareness and insight. Seeking help can often retraumatize an individual. Therefore, offering a supportive environment for clients to develop healthy behaviors, and coping skills is an important part of the therapeutic process. One's trauma and experiences are not often unique, but the individual is unique and must be treated as such. I have utilized a variety of methods; including CBT, MI, DBT, psychodynamic theory, and strength-based perspective to assist my clients with their daily life struggles. It's vital that as a therapist I'm present in the moment, and that I can listen empathetically. Mental Health does not need to be a stigma.Therapy requires hard work; so I thank my clients who consistently show up for themselves.

Loss can change how we understand ourselves, our relationships, and the future we imagined. You may be grieving someone you love, living with the effects of trauma, or trying to find your footing after a diagnosis or significant life change. Perhaps your grief feels difficult to explain, or you feel pressure to be doing better than you are. I offer a warm, thoughtful space where you can bring these experiences without needing to make them tidy or know where to begin.

My work centers on grief in its many forms, including complex grief and the ways loss and trauma can become intertwined. I support clients navigating bereavement, the loss of a beloved pet, changes in health or identity, and endings that may go unrecognized by others. Grief can hold longing, anger, guilt, relief, and love at once. Together, we can make room for those contradictions, explore what feels unresolved, and find ways to live alongside loss while remaining connected to what matters to you.

I also work with clients carrying the effects of traumatic experiences. Our work may involve understanding how the past shapes present relationships, finding language for experiences that have been difficult to share, and developing a greater sense of safety and choice. I respect your pace and readiness.

My experience in psychosocial oncology and chronic illness informs my attention to the emotional and existential challenges of illness, uncertainty, and changing abilities. I am continuing to deepen my specialization in end-of-life and palliative care counseling, an area of particular professional interest. I welcome conversations about mortality, dignity, meaning, and the grief that can begin before a loss occurs.

My approach to individual and couples counseling is integrative, grounded in person-centered and psychodynamic perspectives and shaped by clients' needs, history, and goals. I am interested in both what brings you to therapy now and the relationships and experiences that have shaped you. We may explore longstanding patterns, attend to difficult emotions, or develop practical ways to navigate daily life. Throughout, I value a collaborative relationship in which you feel heard and able to speak honestly, including about therapy itself.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a journalist. That background informs my curiosity, close listening, and understanding of vicarious trauma and the demands of high-pressure work. As a queer, bilingual clinician offering therapy in English and Italian, I also make room for the ways identity, culture, and belonging shape our experiences and our access to support.

I work with individuals and people in monogamous and non-monogamous relationships, with the aim of helping them understand themselves and live in a way that feels authentic. My approach is focused on getting to the core of what keeps you feeling stuck, often looking at how the past continues to influence the present. The work can be challenging at times; however, it creates space for clarity, growth, and meaningful change.

My practice is rooted in person-centered, psychodynamic, and narrative therapy. I aim to be direct and thoughtful, creating a space where you can confront difficult truths while feeling supported. In relationship therapy, I help partners reset expectations and roles, develop their unique communication style, and build trust, leading to reconnecting with intimacy.

I hold a MA in Mental Health Counseling from New York University. Having moved countries multiple times, I am familiar with the stress and challenges of adjusting to new people and places while also carrying the grief of leaving friends, family, and pets behind. These experiences also taught me that while people come from different backgrounds, we can still bond over similarities or by exploring our differences.

In addition to English, I can also hold sessions in Czech and Slovak.

Taking the steps toward mental wellness can be a daunting process, but I would love to work with you to achieve your treatment goals. I aim to create a warm and safe therapeutic environment where my clients can feel comfortable exploring their deepest thoughts and vulnerabilities. I have experience working with individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, adjustment issues, substance abuse, trauma, disordered eating, self-harm, and suicidal ideation. Through the creation of a strong therapeutic relationship, we will work together to understand the thoughts and feelings that guide your actions and shape your self-concept.

Before joining The Soho Center, I obtained a B.A. in Psychology from The George Washington University and an M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The Chicago School of Psychology in Washington, DC. I worked at The Howard University Counseling Service where I received training in Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, multiculturalism, and psychopharmacology.

I offer therapy that is empathic, respectful, honest, and collaborative. My approach is evidence-based, drawing on methods that are proven to be effective and reliable, while always honoring you as an individual.

My practice takes into account the pervasive nature of trauma, and how it can interfere with your ability to cope with life’s challenges. We will work to carefully uncover the reasons behind any behaviors you wish to change, as well as how those behaviors may have served you throughout your life. Together, we will pay attention to your prior experiences, including family dynamics, while working on practical, realistic approaches to dealing with today.

I have found that people are more resilient than they think. I work to help you harness your strengths, find balance, and regain hope.
