Licensed to practice in Tennessee and accepts 27 insurances. Specializes in Anxiety, Couples Counseling, Spirituality and 10 more.
Everyone has a story. I am a person-centered licensed professional counselor who believes in collaborative work with the client. I provide individual and couples therapy. I primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as well as emotionally focused therapy (EFT) to help my clients reach their personal goals. I also utilize existential counseling and multicultural counseling. I specialize in helping first generation South Asian Americans experiencing anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and acculturation-related challenges. I am available online to all adult residents of TN.
In our first session we will build rapport and get to know one another. I respect the pace of each client; some clients are ready to dive into the problems they are facing, while others may take their time to get adjusted to the process of therapy. I'll adjust my pace to your needs! We'll also work on a collaborative plan to work together on your therapeutic goals.
I offer individual and couples therapy. I am available to assist clients with low self-esteem, work-related concerns, anxiety/depression, relationship concerns, anger, and major life transitions. In addition, I help first-generation South Asian Americans process the pressures of balancing cultural values, family obligations, people-pleasing tendencies, perfectionism, and personal identity while building emotionally healthy and authentic lives. I have studied and taught meditation for 20 years and use this to help clients with stress & anxiety if/when requested.
I am available for individual and couples therapy. I provide therapy for adult clients. I accept insurances that I am paneled with for individual therapy. Couples therapy is out of pocket and is $145 per session. I do ask clients to give me 24-48 hours notice if they need to reschedule their appointment so I can offer the time slot to someone else. There is a $75 late cancellation/no-show fee.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
I help a number of clients learn how to be in the present with intense emotions and learn how emotions can affect our body. Over time, we can learn what these intense emotions are trying to communicate to us and that we do not need to be afraid of them.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is understanding how our thoughts affect our emotions and how these emotions influence our behavior. Learning to become self-aware and recognize our thoughts/triggers is the first step in understanding the power of overcoming our issues.
