Associate Therapist
I have always been drawn to people- their stories, their motivations, and what makes each person uniquely themselves. That pull toward connection and healing is what brought me to therapy, and I genuinely cannot imagine doing anything else.
My path here has been anything but linear. I grew up in the vibrant city of Mumbai, India, before making my way to Indiana University (Go Hoosiers!), where I studied Marketing and Sales. After graduating, I returned home and worked in marketing for a year- but something kept pulling me toward a different kind of work, one rooted in understanding people rather than selling to them. That pull led me to pivot toward mental health counseling. Today, I work with adult clients navigating anxiety, depression, substance use, trauma, and the everyday challenges of relationships and life transitions. Witnessing people’s courage and resilience as they move through these struggles is what continues to deepen my commitment to this work.
I aim to create a warm, welcoming, and completely non-judgmental space where you feel safe to show up as you are. I draw on REBT, ACT, CBT, and person-centered therapy, and I’m currently completing my master’s degree at Teachers College, Columbia University in Mental Health Counseling. In addition to English, I am able to offer sessions in Hindi and Gujarati. I don’t come with a rigid approach or a one-size-fits-all framework- I come with genuine curiosity, deep care, and a commitment to meeting you exactly where you are.
When I’m not in session, I’m usually out exploring everything New York City has to offer- trying new restaurants, experimenting with recipes at home, dancing at a rave, or taking long walks through Central Park. My happiest days off involve clear blue water somewhere warm, snorkeling or kayaking until the sun goes down.
Whatever brought you here, I’m glad you took this step. I’d be honored to be part of your journey.
