ABOUT ME + EDUCATION

I received my bachelors in arts from Cornell University in psychology + cultural anthropology and my master’s and doctorate in clinical psychology from the University of Denver.

SERVICES

I primarily treat couples in my private practice. The focus of my graduate studies and training was in couples therapy. A third of my clients are individuals and I am recruiting for a few process groups in 2024.

FEES

I am an out of network provider with most insurance plans. If you have a PPO plan, I may be able to submit out of network claims on your behalf, please call your provider to check what portion of my fee they cover.

Couples Therapy

I work with diverse couples at different stages of their relationship and value seeing all types of couples, including LGBTIQ+, polyamorous, and religious couples. I also have extensive experience with discernment counseling and couples considering divorce in addition to couples where one or both individual struggle with severe mental illness. I have developed a speciality working with interracial and intercultural couples who wish to explore sociocultural differences that may inform the core issues bringing them to therapy. My training is grounded in attachment theory and emotionally focused interventions where I target voicing underlying needs, increasing empathy, improving communication, and increasing problem solving skills.

Individual Psychotherapy

I work with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, family and relationship tensions, trauma responses, and adjustment issues. In my practice, I work with many BIPOC and first and second generation South Asian individuals who also want a space to process experiences tied to holding multiple identities. However, I value working with all demographics of clients (including individuals who hold multiple privileged and/or oppressed identities). I am an integrative practitioner and have extensive training in psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, cultural contextual, and humanistic models of therapy.

Group Therapy

I have specialty training in group psychotherapy and ran several groups while working in community mental agencies, partial hospital programs, and college counseling centers, including general process groups for men and women, CBT and DBT skills groups, and support groups for survivors of sexual assault, interpersonal violence, and BIPOC students. In 2024, I hope to start a virtual DBT informed group for mothers struggling with affect regulation and parenting difficulties in addition to one for South Asian women who want a collective space to process a wide range of themes.

Diversity, equity, + inclusion Consulting + Clinical Training

In addition to being a clinical psychologist, I am a diversity, equity, and inclusion consultant with VISIONS, Inc. Attending to experiences of oppression, privilege, and strengths tied to sociocultural identity is important in creating a cohesive work environment and is absolutely integral to providing effective psychotherapy. I am frequently invited to speak to various clinical organizations on a range of DEI topic.
