The world today is so loud with everything and everyone buzzing in your ear telling you how to live your life or how you are "doing things wrong". You care so much about others' needs and wants that maybe you forget your own. Or that you have a voice. Or that you can take up space. Your emotions may feel out of control which may make you feel not like yourself. "What's wrong with me?" you might ask. I want to help you create a quiet space for reflection on what YOU want your life to be like. Giving you permission to fully be un-apologetically you.

People seek therapy for many different reasons, often on the heels or in the midst of navigating life transitions and important relationships. Those who work with me tend to be seeking ways to better tolerate & manage the full range and intensity of their experiences, while honoring their genuine selves. In my 18 years of clinical work, I’ve focused on helping individuals & families find and practice ways to live regulated, connected, and meaningful lives amidst all the ups and downs of life. I enjoy working with people of all ages and specialize in anxiety, identity issues, complex trauma, and supporting child-parent relationships.

From my perspective, therapy is an rare and valuable opportunity to talk through and understand all the thoughts, emotions, and fears that come from day-to-day life. When circumstances can't change, then we only can change ourselves and how we respond. Talking it out, can help us figure it out. When you feel better, your relationships will be better. I also specialize in managing and coaching adult ADHD

Bienvenidos! Welcome to Puentes de Resiliencia! Puentes de Resiliencia was created with the premise of creating therapy services with a cultural perspective in mind. We all navigate healing differently, but one thing that stays consistent is the notion that we do not have to endure it alone. Healing with community in mind is a strength based concept that further encourages the notion that as a community, we can transform and create bridges for success, bridges for healing, and bridges for resilience. As your therapist, I strive to provide a safe space for authenticity to ensure an open space for expression and healing.

Are you a young person struggling to make decisions for yourself? Do you feel lost? Does the thought of adulthood overwhelm you? To unburden yourself of this pressure, it may help to talk to someone. Therapy is a space for you to open up without the fear of shame or rejection. I operate my practice based on three tenets: 1) I will listen to you 2) I will provide you with evidence-based tools for life 3) I will ask for your feedback. Together, we will look for patterns that no longer serve you, unpack situations that require resolution, and identify the emotions that you experience throughout this process.

My multicultural background, experiences as a woman of color, and identity as a first-generation immigrant from India have shaped my journey as a psychotherapist. Growing up in a collectivistic and patriarchal society, I often felt unheard, navigating microaggressions and a lack of autonomy. This gives me a unique understanding of how systems of oppression can affect one’s sense of self, and I integrate cultural awareness into my work to help clients break free from feeling unseen and unheard, my focus is on establishing and nurturing client-centered, one-to-one relationships.

Some may have felt they’ve lost connections within themselves because of the chaos and devastation that life sometimes brings. All these factors can play a role in making someone feel unbalanced.

Do you find yourself struggling to connect with others? Do you find that anxiety, fear of judgement from others or symptoms of ADHD prevents you from meeting new people, creating deeper connections with acquaintances, finding a romantic partner, speaking your mind or attending social events altogether? Is it hard to show your real self in social situations or at work, so you "mask" or hide that part of yourself, because you find it difficult to accept who you are and criticize yourself often? Well, this doesn't have to be your experience forever.

My work is centered around helping individuals navigate complex relationship issues with others and themselves. The clients I see in therapy often process topics related to family of origin relationships, questioning & uncertainty around sexual identity, and experiences of spiritual confusion and religious harm. I especially enjoy working with college students & emerging adults who are beginning their careers. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and committed to practicing with cultural humility. I consider it a privilege to work with people of varying backgrounds and identities.

I believe that because we are born into relationships, we suffer and struggle within the context of our relationships, and we ultimately heal through our relationships—our relationships with ourselves, with each other, and sometimes with people who are no longer present in our lives. I believe in a reflective, wholistic approach to therapy, incorporating elements of a number of treatment models, from behavior-based to psychoanalytic, in order to meet each person's individual needs.
