I was born in Mumbai, India, and migrated to the United States in 1987, and have lived in New Jersey since. I stayed home to raise a family, and started pursuing my education in psychology during that time. I obtained my doctoral degree in 2014 and have worked in various clinical settings, including college counseling center, inpatient hospitals, nursing home, community mental health and private practice.

I enjoy working with young adults, adults, and the geriatric population. I think of the individual in context, and like to work with the client, as a team. I assist clients in managing their depression, anxiety, and traumas.  I also work to address client issues around relationship and family concerns, identity, life transitions, and immigration and acculturation needs.
