About Me

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) providing psychotherapy to residents of California for individual and relational themes.  

The breadth and depth of my education informs and supports the work that I do with you. My foundational psychotherapy-related education is a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology with a concentration in Expressive Arts Therapy from the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) in San Francisco, CA.  My qualifications also include trainings in:

• Somatic Experiencing (Certificate Completed)

• Brainspotting Phase 1 and 2

• Somatic Regulation and Resilience (SRR)

• Integrative Somatic Parts Work

• Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction

• Compassion Focused Therapy

• The Gottman Method for couple therapy

• The Developmental Model of Couples Therapy

• Gestalt therapy

• Sandtray therapy

• Play therapy  

Additionally, I weave western psychological orientations with eastern spiritual thought as a foundation to provide holistic psychotherapy. 

My personal experiences of immigration enhance my sensitivity to address issues related to assimilation, integration, multi-racial relationship, and cultural identity for various generations within a family.

Through my previous careers in small-scale manufacturing units and large corporations in Silicon Valley, I have gained an appreciation for the rewards and demands of working in the tech industry of the San Francisco Bay Area.

I am multi-lingual and provide therapy in English and Hindi.
