Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LICSW
Accepting clients Last Updated 6 days ago

I specialize in working with children, adolescents, families, and adults around life transitions, grief, adult and child ADD/ADHD, depression, anxiety, and stress. Additionally, as a first generation Asian Indian who was raised in the US, I have firsthand knowledge around the socially and culturally sensitive issues relating to the experience of immigrant families.
As a clinician for 20+ years, my treatment modalities are diverse and include insight-oriented therapy, solution focused work, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness training, stress management, relaxation skills instruction and play therapy. My warm, empathetic and collaborative style allows me to connect with a variety of clients in a genuine, supportive and positive manner.
I look forward to working together to achieve your therapeutic goals. You are welcome to call me to set up an initial consultation. Please note that my sessions are via video telehealth for the state of Massachusetts.
