I have devoted my life to helping people become to best versions of themselves. It wasn't until I was in my 30's that I found my own purpose. As a "neuro-spicey" female myself, I know the overwhelming feelings the world can produce. Due to these feelings, the world seamed to gobble me up. As a way of coping, I turned to substances. What I have learned over the past 16 years is, everyone's brain works differently, so there isn't one way of thinking or experiencing things that applies to everyone. I believe every person deserves a tailored approach that is conducive to their healing. I provide Psychotherapy services to children, adolescents, and adults. I have experience working with Trauma, Reactive Attachment Disorder, Autism, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, Grief, Substance Use Disorder and Behavioral Issues.

Experience:

I am a seasoned trilingual social worker proficient in English, Nepali, and Hindi, offering a rich multicultural background to my clients. Inspired by my experiences during the devastating earthquake in Nepal in 2015, I developed a compassionate approach towards mental health, particularly focusing on children and families. In response to the earthquake's impact, I established a child-friendly space, ensuring a safe haven for over 20 children to discuss mental health and continue their education until schools were restored. My dedication extends to various age groups, providing individual and group therapy. Notably, I initiated and led peer support groups targeting the mental well-being of seniors in a living community, earning recognition at the Clinical Excellence Conference and securing the Student Choice Award 2020 from Saint Leo University. With three years of experience as a telehealth outpatient therapist, I specialize in addressing depression, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, ADHD, and acculturative stress. My prior work in inpatient settings at children crisis and behavioral health units in hospitals reflects my expertise in aiding individuals with complex mental health diagnoses.

Specialization: 

I specialize in telehealth therapy, delivering comprehensive support to children and adults facing various challenges, including depression, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, ADHD, and acculturative stress. My diverse language proficiency in English, Nepali, and Hindi enhances my ability to connect with clients from different cultural backgrounds. My therapeutic journey includes extensive work in inpatient settings, particularly in children's crisis and behavioral health units, where I addressed issues like suicidal ideation and self-injurious behaviors. Additionally, my 16-month internships at a hospital's intensive care unit and hospice involved providing counseling and support to patients with terminal illnesses and their families. My therapeutic approach is rooted in a client-centered philosophy, incorporating evidence-based methods to empower clients on their proactive journey toward positive change.

Choosing me as your therapist means choosing a professional with a profound understanding of diverse cultural backgrounds, a compassionate approach rooted in personal experiences, a commitment to various age groups, and recognized excellence in the field. My dedication extends beyond traditional therapy, incorporating initiatives that create a positive impact on individuals and communities.
