What is therapy like? What does a typical session with you look like?

Our sessions will be completely laid back. You will laugh, cry, yell, curse and I will be right there to accept it all. I find humor therapeutic so don't be surprised if I break a tense moment with a smile. I want my clients to feel safe to just simply be. I believe in structured sessions, but I also believe in attuning to you in the moment. My goal is for you to leave my sessions feeling prepared to conquer the world.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Assoicate under the clinical supervision of Awa Jangha, PhD, LPC-S, ATR-BC. My clinical journey has given me the opportunity to work in a variety of settings including residential treatment, child development centers, psychiatric research, child welfare, PHP, IOP and private practice. I have enjoyed working with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults. I have experience working with clients that present with depression, anxiety, PTSD/C-PTSD, dissociative identity disorder, and complex trauma. I have a holistic approach to therapy. I firmly believe that including the mind, body, and spirit will produce optimal results. I help encourage clients to include the whole body in their healing process. I believe that every client is different, so I pride myself on being an eclectic therapist. There is not a "one size fits all" therapeutic orientation so in our work together, I will work to individualize your experience.

We provide one-on-one, in home, ABA therapy for client and parent. Therapist works on established targets that are set based on assessments, questionnaires, observations, and family input. BCBA supervises in person at least once a week, analysis data (to guide instruction), and provides parent/caregiver training on a predetermined schedule.

Therapy is a collaborative process providing an opportunity to bring awareness to how past experiences are affecting current struggles. In our sessions together, we will work towards identifying your goals and meeting your needs while working on healing, developing self-awareness, and practicing self-compassion. I will provide a safe space for you to feel emotionally supported while also helping you challenge unhelpful patterns in order work towards change. I look forward to meeting you!

As a bilingual (English/Gujarati) therapist, my work with adults from diverse backgrounds and age groups informs my culturally sensitive approach to treatment. I utilize an eclectic approach drawing from psychodynamic, person-centered, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Therapy is an opportunity to explore our struggles in the context of our past experiences and patterns while in a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space while developing effective ways of navigating them.

Sessions are virtual so we both take responsibility to be in safe and confidential places with working devices. Respect is always there for you to make the decision what feels comfortable to deal with and try. You are in control of your voice in the sessions. You get to pass on things at times and share sensations. I rely on you to share with me how you are to guide us in the work you want to do.

I love exploring life with others whether it is in coaching, counseling or art therapy. Connecting with ourselves provides us with the most knowledgeable source of healing and ability to thrive.

I firmly believe that therapy is your time. I will guide the session; however, I want you to feel that you've gotten the most out of our time together. I hope that you will feel comfortable letting me know what you would like to work towards in each session.

Therapy with me is a collaborative, supportive, and non-judgmental space where your voice matters. From our very first session, I work to create an atmosphere that feels safe and grounded—where you can show up exactly as you are, without pressure or pretense. We’ll begin by getting to know each other and identifying what brings you in—your goals, challenges, and hopes. I take a holistic, personalized approach, tailoring each session to meet your unique needs. Some days, we might dig into deeper emotions or past experiences. Other times, we may focus on building practical coping skills, processing current stressors, or celebrating small wins. I incorporate evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing, depending on what best supports your healing and growth. If you're working through trauma, addiction, or co-occurring disorders, our sessions will reflect that—compassionate, paced, and trauma-informed. Above all, therapy with me is a partnership. You lead the way, and I walk alongside you, offering guidance, tools, and a steady presence.

In our sessions, we tackle key areas like relapse prevention, building coping skills, boosting self-esteem, and embracing trauma-informed care. I utilize evidence-based modalities, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, EMDR, and motivational interviewing, to guide our work.

A typical session begins with greetings and settling into the session-checking on how the client has been doing since we last met and what they might need from me for today's session. If the client has done any homework in between sessions, we will review it. Next, we might work on interventions to address their therapy goals and finish the session with steps for the next session. Perhaps discussing when we will meet next and what will happen prior to the next session. For example, practicing some of the interventions before next session (ex. make more time for themselves, spend more time with people who bring them joy, challenge their anxious thoughts).

I have over 25 years of combined clinical and administrative experience committed to helping clients learn healthy coping skills to manage the stressors of daily life and to improve their well-being.
