Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSWShe/Her/Hers
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSWA fundamental cause of “dis-ease” is disconnection, whether that be disconnection from self, loved ones, or from one’s own source and power. Oftentimes, this disconnection is also rooted in a disconnection from the body. My work stems from the principle that the body, mind, and spirit are interwoven. Being whole and healthy involves allowing all parts of our experience to be valid and alive. I view therapy as a collaborative process where I support you in connecting with your present moment experience to facilitate insight and transformation. Our work together will often involve body awareness and mindfulness (a noticing of your present moment experience). I use CBT, DBT, mindfulness, process therapy and experiential therapy techniques to support you with accessing spaciousness, moving through, finding clarity, and experiencing greater ease.
As the child of Indian immigrants and a descendent of diaspora, I am constantly exploring identity and belonging. I’ve learned that sometimes, home is the present moment. Spirituality and Eastern philosophy inform and inspire my world view and way of working. I believe in the infinite potential of each being, in addition to the interconnection or oneness of all beings. I have been guided again and again to my body as a source of knowing, wisdom, and truth. I am nourished by spending time in nature, by sitting in meditation, and by finding and enjoying loving community. I particularly enjoy working with people who are LGBTQ, BIPOC, highly sensitive, and changemakers.
