About

You want more than symptom management — you want to understand yourself. I offer depth-oriented psychotherapy + medication management for adults navigating identity, transitions, and emotional overwhelm.Most of us are at the intersection of different identities- at times straddling different cultural identities, familial roles, job titles, etc – it can be difficult to block out the noise and live in a way that feels true to who we actually are. I hope to help you live your life authentically and help you practice value based living. Mental health challenges can show up differently for all of us. For some, this can appear as increasing anxiety, mood changes, irritability, perceptual disturbances,   or just general feelings of exhaustion, burnout, and guilt. People are multi-faceted and nuanced; treatment should be as well. I am trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy but also use modalities such as CBT, DBT, IFS and an interpersonal framework according to what a client needs. In addition, I am a trained  psychopharmacologist and while medications may not be the right option for everyone, for others it can be a tool that is incorporated into a well rounded  treatment. As a  first generation Malayali Indian American woman, I value the intersection of  ethnicity, religion, gender and the other nuances of my lived experience which cultivates a richness in my life.However, it can get messy. I understand the difficulty of constantly traveling amongst different worlds. Ultimately, I have always been amazed at how mental health is at the crossroads of identity and have dedicated my life towards supporting others on their journey.
