From the Business:With over 7 years in practice as a clinical psychologist, my background in behavioral medicine and social justice, combined with my passion for helping those seeking to restore health and balance in their lives, lies at the heart of my work. Building a safe and collaborative relationship is my first intention. From here, I personalize my approach to meet your goals using evidence-based techniques that consider the physical, mental, cultural, and social aspects of your life. Together, we build a plan to help you create lasting change. I work using a short-term model, which means you should start to see change soon.

From the Business:I am an Indian American, queer cisgender woman identified psychologist. I am also a person who stutters. My personal passion for psychology stems from a lifelong quest for my own self-understanding and liberation. Whether through my relationships with others, work, or in quiet moments with myself, I am continually striving toward greater self-awareness, growth, and freedom. I believe every human being has an innate capacity for growth, and that with the right support and at the time that we are ready, we are able to deepen self-awareness and transform even the most difficult patterns, beliefs, and life experiences into sources of wisdom and power. We are able to live a life aligned with our deepest desires and sense of purpose. I bring this heartfelt passion to my work with each and every client. Prior to coming to the field of psychology, I spent 9 years working in the fields of public policy/human rights advocacy, domestic violence prevention/response, international development, and direct social services with refugee and U.S. born disenfranchised Black American youth. In the course of doing this work, I met many incredible grassroots leaders moving their communities toward positive change. My decision to pursue psychology professionally was precipitated by a deep desire to understand, support, and foster the resilience that enabled these individuals to do their work. With respect to formal education and research background, I have a PhD in Counseling Psychology from New York University, a Masters degree in Public Policy (MPP) with a concentration in Human Rights from Harvard University, and a Bachelors degree in English with a concentration in Feminist and Gender Studies as well as a minor in Dance from Bryn Mawr College.Read more
