LCSW, 20 years of experience
Are you ready to move beyond feeling overwhelmed and stuck? As a warm, strengths-based therapist, I help adults like you transform self-doubt into confidence and uncertainty into action. In our work together, we'll create a judgment-free space where you can explore what's holding you back, whether that's anxiety, depression, career challenges, or life transitions. I take a direct yet compassionate approach, focusing on practical strategies while helping you build resilience and improve how you talk to yourself. Through our collaborative work, you'll discover tools to create lasting positive changes and move toward a more fulfilling life.
Our first session sets the foundation for honest, productive work together. You'll share what brings you to therapy now, and I'll ask focused questions to understand your challenges and goals. I believe in being transparent about my approach: direct yet compassionate, combining practical tools with deeper insight. You'll leave our first meeting with a clear sense of our path forward and some immediate strategies you can start using. My clients often tell me they appreciate knowing exactly where we're headed while feeling genuinely heard and supported.
I excel at creating a space where authenticity meets action. My direct yet compassionate approach helps clients feel both supported and challenged to grow. Rather than just talking about change, we'll focus on concrete steps while understanding the deeper patterns that have kept you stuck. I bring a unique blend of therapeutic insight and real-world experience, helping you navigate both personal and professional challenges. By combining practical strategies with genuine empathy, I help clients build lasting confidence and create meaningful change in their lives.
Do you find yourself stuck in patterns that aren't serving you anymore? Whether you're navigating career uncertainty, battling anxiety, or feeling disconnected from your sense of self-worth, I can help. My clients appreciate a direct yet compassionate approach to therapy - one that combines practical strategies with genuine understanding. I work particularly well with adults who are ready to move beyond surface-level changes and create meaningful transformations in their lives. Together, we'll identify what's really holding you back and develop actionable steps to move forward.
I use CBT to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns and develop healthier coping strategies. Together, we focus on actionable steps to improve emotional well-being and address concerns like anxiety, depression, or stress.
I use interpersonal therapy to explore how relationships impact emotional health and work with clients to improve communication and strengthen connections. This approach helps clients navigate life transitions, resolve conflicts, and build more meaningful relationships.
I use motivational interviewing to empower clients by exploring their values, strengths, and goals. This collaborative approach helps clients overcome ambivalence and make meaningful changes in areas like health, work, or relationships.
I create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and valued. Using person-centered therapy, I focus on their strengths, allowing them to explore their emotions and develop greater self-awareness and confidence.

She’s makes you comfortable and is very observant which I love. Made me feel very heard, seen and cared for in such a short period of time which is rare. Even though it was just session one, Chinna is amazing.
