As a licensed psychologist with over 16 years of experience, I've had the privilege of working across various settings, from outpatient therapy to residential treatment facilities and community mental health organizations.

With over two decades of experience, I've dedicated myself to supporting individuals and families across Southern California, spanning various settings from community-based agencies to hospitals.

I am naturally a good listener and find it incredibly rewarding to help others navigate life's challenges. My approach is rooted in empathy and collaboration, ensuring that clients feel heard and supported as they work toward meaningful change. Together, we will explore patterns, develop coping strategies, and build on strengths to create a more balanced and fulfilling life.

As a psychiatrist, I prioritize your personal goals and aim to foster a trusting relationship, ensuring comprehensive and supportive care. I graduated with an MD from the Mayo Clinic School of Health Sciences in 2012. Born in India and raised in the Pacific Northwest, I combine my diverse cultural insights with a patient-centric approach to enhance your mental well-being and healing.

With a rich background in organizational leadership, program development, and counseling supervision, I bring a wealth of experience to my practice.

In therapy, I aim to help you achieve your goal—to improve, grow, or overcome challenges. Together, we'll identify your desired outcomes and develop a personalized plan backed by effective research.

My approach is collaborative with a focus on building awareness and flexibility in coping styles, with the goal of decreasing symptoms as quickly as possible.

I value a patient centered thorough approach. I welcome the opportunity (if desired) to work with loved ones or family members as part of your treatment. I also value the opportunity to communicate and collaborate with outside providers. I also enjoy working with patients who are more interested in alternative and complementary approaches to treat their symptoms including use of nutritional supplements as well as psychotherapy.

Taking the first step toward healing and personal growth takes courage. Whether you're navigating stress, trauma, relationship challenges, anxiety, or life transitions, I am here to provide support, guidance, and a safe space for exploration and healing.

Navigating life transitions and relationship challenges can be daunting and often leads to feelings of uncertainty and isolation. Recognizing the importance of seeking support during these times is crucial for healing and growth. With a holistic approach to therapy, including CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, brainspotting, and EMDR, my practice addresses the mind-body connection to promote overall well-being.

I bring authenticity and curiosity to our therapeutic relationship, valuing your expertise in your own life journey.

As a therapist, I serve as a supportive and empowering partner in my clients' life journeys, facilitating their path to healing and purpose discovery.
