Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in New York

Welcome! I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor with 3 years of experience. I have experience working with teens and adults struggling with anxiety, low self esteem, ADHD, family and romantic relationship struggles, life transitions, and chronic health conditions.

I have 45 years of experience and specialize in many areas of expertise - addictions, LGBTQ+ mood disorders, trauma, grief, workplace issues to name a few.. I am a total insurance based practice and slide scale if necessary. Therapy is a process of self healing , discovery, growth and positive change. I try to promote a relaxed, open empathic experience with support and feedback. Prior to a first visit , I will do a 15 minute free consultation to see if we are a good fit. If we schedule an appointment, I will find out insurance benefits because I like all financial expectations out of the way so that it does not take time out of the session. Forms and consents are also sent via email prior to the session, so that any " business" needs are out of the way.

I am proud to call myself a New Yorker and a South Asian immigrant, who has spent nearly three decades helping clients navigate our healthcare system. I am a licensed Therapist, with additional Masters degrees in communication and management. I have worked both in some of the largest hospital systems including New York Presbyterian and NYU Brooklyn, as well as smaller community clinics and mobile crisis. My diverse experience provides me with a solid foundation of the complexities in dealing with mental health, with a strong knowledge of both therapy and medication management. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, PTST, OCD and bipolar, in addition to severe mental illness. I enjoy interacting with clients of all ages and backgrounds, including couples and families. I tailor my sessions to meet the individual needs of clients and families.

I offer a warm, understanding, and compassionate environment when working with patients. I have sixteen years experience in evidence-based therapy and deep expertise in providing counseling in the areas of trauma and wellness. I am certified in DBT and am seasoned in utilizing motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and holistic wellness in my work with patients. I am committed to helping patients find their strengths and utilize these strengths to live their best lives.

Welcome. I’m glad you’re here. My work is rooted in the belief that healing begins in a safe and supportive relationship, where you can show up just as you are and feel genuinely seen and understood. Whether you’re moving through anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, or the weight of cultural and generational trauma, I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space to explore your experience with care and curiosity.

You’re not here to be “fixed” because you’re not broken. You’re here to reconnect with your inner wisdom, reclaim clarity, and build a life that feels rooted and whole. I’m here to support you in that process, every step of the way.
