Hey, I'm Anika! (She/her)

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges? Struggling to find balance and clarity amidst the chaos? You're not alone. I'm here to provide a safe and compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment.

As a woman and a member of the South Asian community, I bring a unique perspective and understanding to my work as a therapist. I recognize the importance of cultural identity and the impact it can have on our mental health and well-being.

My approach to therapy is grounded in empathy, cultural sensitivity, and collaboration. I strive to create a therapeutic environment where you feel seen, heard, and understood, regardless of your background or lived experiences.

As a therapist, I believe in the power of connection and the importance of honoring each individual's unique journey. Whether we're exploring your family dynamics, processing past traumas, or simply navigating life's transitions, I'm here to support you every step of the way.

My ideal clients are those who are ready to take a proactive approach to their well-being. I'm here to help you find your inner strength and resilience. As a therapist, I believe that healing is a collaborative journey. I'm not here to tell you what to do or how to feel. Instead, I'll work alongside you to identify your goals, explore your values, and develop personalized strategies for growth and self-discovery.

I'm deeply committed to creating a supportive and empowering therapeutic environment where you can feel seen, heard, and valued. My values as a therapist are centered around compassion, authenticity, and respect. I believe in the inherent worth and dignity of every individual, and I'm here to support you as you embark on your journey toward healing and self-discovery.

If you're ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing, I'm here to walk alongside you.

Let's start this journey together.
