Life can be messy and unpredictable. Whatever it is that's going on, perhaps your situation is leaving you anxious, depressed, discouraged, and maybe even a little hopeless at times. I imagine you're here because you don't want to feel this way anymore. You're ready for something - anything, really - to change. Maybe someone encouraged you to reach out because they're worried about you. Maybe you're worried, too. I am a woman of Indian descent, and I specialize in working with highly sensitive people from multicultural backgrounds. I have clinical social worker licensure in Texas. I have more than 10 years of experience providing counseling, crisis intervention, mental-health assessment, and case management services. With a gentle and supportive approach, I hope to create a safe space for clients to express themselves and to make room for realizations that will lead to positive life changes. I utilize solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness and other evidence-based techniques based on client preferences and goals assists in this development by providing insight into your emotions, thoughts and behaviors. You are your own expert, but our time together is collaborative. I believe in hearing your feedback about what it is you want/need out of therapy and tailoring my sessions to fit your needs. Some of my specialty areas include relationship issues, co-dependency, living with complex medical conditions, women's issues, and healing from trauma. I hope to connect with you!
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
I offer unconditional positive regard during my time with you to help you move from "stuck-ness" to deeper understanding of learnings around why are things the way they are.
