Premarital Counseling & Couples/Sex Therapy

For couples seeking premarital counseling, I utilize the structured prepare/enrich assessment to guide time limited sessions. For couples therapy or discernment counseling, I have specialty training in Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT), Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy (IBCT), and the Gottman Method for Couples. I have extensive education and experience working with couples who are struggling with emotional disconnection, high conflict interactions, rebuilding trust after infidelity, communication issues, parenting struggles, attachment ruptures, and sexual disorders/discrepancy desires. To learn more about how I work with couples, please reference my couples therapy FAQs page.

Individual Therapy

My therapeutic approach draws from psychodynamic, cultural contextual, transactional analysis, humanistic/existential, and cognitive-behavioral models. Being an integrative practitioner allows me to be emotionally attune and exploratory to clients who want a more dynamic and insight oriented therapy and active in structured problem solving and skill development for clients who want a more short term or solution focused approached.

I aim to practice cultural humility, even with clients who share my core identities, and aim to make psychotherapy as inclusive as possible. I am deeply committed to providing culturally curious and sensitive treatment to every person or couple I work with and believe this is important for any type of psychotherapy to be effective.

Group Therapy

I have run several groups over my career, including general interpersonal process groups, CBT and DBT skills groups, support groups for survivors of interpersonal violence, and affinity groups for women and BIPOC students. Currently via my practice, I am running a South Asian women’s support and process group.
