Welcome! Do you currently struggle with any of the following: anxiety; low self-esteem; deep, sometimes inexplicable feelings of guilt; tough inner critic; difficulty saying no; feeling disconnected from others; heavy focus on wanting to make others like you; a nagging feeling you’re doing something wrong or there may be something wrong with you? The good news is, these are not inherent traits people are born with and you are not bound to eternally struggle with these things! This therapy will give you the opportunity to uncover the root causes of these and other struggles in order to make changes in the here-and-now. Please click on my website link for more on the benefits of this therapy! As a licensed therapist with over 10-years experience in the mental health field, I treat a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. I specialize in understanding difficult family and relationship dynamics (both past and current dynamics) and how those dynamics affect us in the present. My approach is interactive, open-minded, and non-judgmental. I care deeply for the people I work with and through genuine collaboration, my clients describe a sense of feeling truly heard and understood. I invite you to email or call today to find out more!

You get what you pay for and you are worth the time and money spent on feeling better!

My style is direct, interactive, supportive and compassionate. I particularly enjoy working with older adolescents and adults who are experiencing difficult and challenging transitions in their lives. I have found that some people seek counseling for short term solutions, while others are seeking a longer,deeper,transformative experience. Some goals I have helped my patients achieve include: overcoming inhibitions about relationships or career, becoming better self-advocates, managing stressful life transitions, exercising more control over choices and actions, and mourning the loss of a loved one/significant relationship. I often use CBT, DBT, and ERP to help clients maximize functioning.

College can look exciting on the outside and feel overwhelming on the inside. I work with students who are dealing with anxiety that won’t quiet down, focus that feels impossible, mood changes, burnout, or the pressure to keep it all together. If things feel harder than they should, you’re not alone. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I provide thoughtful, personalized medication management. I take time to listen, explain options in clear language, and work with you to build a plan that feels manageable and realistic for your life. You deserve support that feels steady, respectful, and not rushed.

I specialize in working with children, adolescents, families, and adults around life transitions, grief, adult and child ADD/ADHD, depression, anxiety, and stress. Additionally, as a first generation Asian Indian who was raised in the US, I have firsthand knowledge around the socially and culturally sensitive issues relating to the experience of immigrant families. As a clinician for 20+ years, my treatment modalities are diverse and include insight-oriented therapy, solution focused work, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness training, stress management, relaxation skills instruction and play therapy. My warm, empathetic and collaborative style allows me to connect with a variety of clients in a genuine, supportive and positive manner. I look forward to working together to achieve your therapeutic goals. You are welcome to call me to set up an initial consultation. Please note that my sessions are via video telehealth for the state of Massachusetts, New York, and Rhode Island.
