I have a BA in Psychology and MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of St. Thomas in Houston, TX. I bring an international and multicultural perspective, having traveled to various parts of the world. I speak English, Hindi, and I am moderate in Mandarin and Spanish. As your therapist, I want to get to know your story, experiences, values, and culture by collaborating with you to create a life that is meaningful and aligns with your goals.   Finding the right therapist is something very personal. Empathy, advocacy, and compassion are the driving forces behind my counseling methods.

My areas of expertise include anxiety, trauma, peer-related and academic challenges, anger management, depression, self-esteem, and perfectionism. I offer cover letter and resume reviews, teach coping, life, and career skills (interviewing, salary negotiation), and facilitate educational workshops. I work with adults, children, and adolescents. I want you to feel heard, accepted, and welcomed. My counseling mission is to assist you in building your confidence and making meaning of your unique experiences through education, empowerment, and equipping you with tools for success.

My counseling approach is client-centered, integrative, solution-focused, and direct. Together, we will develop solutions that align with your goals. Let us embark on this journey and discover your unique strengths.

In addition to clinical counseling, I offer assistance with career development.  Examples of career counseling services include interview preparation, LinkedIn review, job and internship search, career assessment and values exploration, and career planning. Your job search and career process is also critical aspect of your personal development. It is important to explore the intersections of your identity to enhance workplace productivity and satisfaction. By partnering with me to examine your career values, interests, and skills, we will work together to minimize vocational anxiety and uncertainty. Benefits of career counseling include determining unique strengths and areas of growth, setting achievable goals, exploring options beyond your original scope, and creating self-branding awareness.
