Beginning counseling can feel like a big step, and I'm glad you're here. Whether you’re navigating a difficult season or simply looking for support, counseling offers a warm, compassionate and nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe to be yourself, explore your experiences, and work toward meaningful change. I believe counseling is a collaborative process where we can gently explore and process difficult feelings or experiences, develop coping skills and build a life that reflects your values, even in the midst of life’s challenges.
I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, self-esteem, and questions surrounding identity and belonging. As an Indian who grew up in a multicultural environment, I understand the unique experience of living between cultures. I enjoy working with immigrants and individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds as they navigate the opportunities and challenges of living between cultures while embracing the strengths their unique experiences bring. As a Christian counselor, I am happy to thoughtfully integrate faith into the counseling process for clients who desire it. I look forward to meeting you and walking alongside you on your unique journey!

EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE
I received my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwest University. Prior to this, I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology with Counseling skills from Middlesex University in the United Arab Emirates. I am currently a licensed mental health counselor associate (LMHCA) and am working towards full licensure (LMHC) in Washington state.
I have experience working with children, teens and adults across a variety of settings, including schools, churches and nonprofit organizations.
ABOUT ME
Outside of the office, you’ll often find me spending time with friends or family, exploring nature, discovering hidden gems while thrifting, or simply enjoying a good conversation over coffee. I also love painting, singing and curling up with a good book and cozy blanket. These moments help me stay grounded and remind me to appreciate the joys found in everyday life.
