Do you often find yourself struggling to find the words to describe how you are feeling or thinking? Maybe words are not enough or simply too much? Together my clients and I slowly tap into our creative capacities to uncover what is otherwise unsaid or difficult to verbalize. My clients vary across the lifespan, abilities, and cultures and can experience symptoms of complex trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, psychosis, and borderline personality disorder. They not only want to overcome their struggles but also intentionally live with a more holistic sense of self and wellbeing.
As a licensed creative arts therapist I integrate a range of modalities from drama, music and movement therapies with psychodynamic talk therapy in my care. This can look like using the beats of a drum to regulate a moment of anxiety or talking through unmanageable life stressors.
As an Indian, straight, upper-caste, able-bodied female practicing both within the U.S. and Indian urban context, I center the role of socio-cultural relations, identities, and systems both in the creation and alleviation of our mental health by being a partner in our collective crisis and joy. If you feel I’d be a good fit, I’d love to get to know you more.
