I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and perinatal mental health specialist, with more than 15 years in the mental health field across India and the United States—including over a decade of licensed clinical practice. But before any of that, I'm a mother of two, which means I know the parts of this journey that don't make it into the baby books.
Much of my career has been in community mental health—as a therapist and crisis specialist at a community mental health center, supporting families who were carrying a great deal with very little safety net, including children and parents referred through child services. Earlier in my career I also worked with children—through school counseling, play therapy, and art-based work with kids from preschoolers through teens—which taught me how early experiences ripple through a whole family, and how much can change when a parent finally feels held themselves.
Becoming a mother twice over deepened everything I thought I understood about this work. I lived the sleepless nights, the identity shifts, the love that arrives tangled up with fear and exhaustion. That lived experience is why I do what I do: I want mothers to be cared for, not just coached. You deserve a space where you don't have to perform "fine."
I combine evidence-based therapies with warm, trauma-informed care, so each session reflects your real life—not a template.
"Perinatal" covers everything from trying to conceive through the first year and beyond. Each stage carries its own quiet, complicated feelings. Wherever you are, what you're feeling makes sense, and you don't have to carry it alone.
The waiting, the tracking, the hope that rises and falls with each cycle. Infertility, IVF and pregnancy loss can be a grief that few people around you fully see—made heavier by appointments, hormones, and well-meaning advice. We make room for the disappointment, the envy that surprises you, and the exhaustion of staying hopeful, without pretending it's easy.
Pregnancy isn't always glowing. It can mean anxiety after a loss, bed rest, complications, or a body and identity changing faster than your mind can catch up. You're allowed to feel scared, ambivalent, or not-yet-bonded—and still be a loving parent. We work on staying grounded through the uncertainty.
The early months can be tender and disorienting—postpartum depression and anxiety, intrusive thoughts, rage, birth trauma, feeding struggles, and the quiet loss of who you used to be. None of this means you're broken or failing. We name what's happening, ease the shame, and rebuild a sense of footing—at your pace.
A new baby doesn't just change you—it reshapes the people and bonds around you. So much of perinatal distress lives in these relationships, and it rarely gets talked about.
Partners are welcome to join sessions when it helps—this work can be done together.
