Meet Our Administrative Team

As a certified perinatal therapist and mother of three, I am passionate about mental health during reproduction, pregnancy, and motherhood. This is a time in a woman’s life that is often labeled as blissful and exciting, but it can be one of the most challenging transitions a woman experiences. This is a time of significant change, and usually involves uncertainty and emotional overwhelm. Many women experience fear, guilt, resentment, grief, lack of identity, and reduced self-esteem. Some women experience postpartum depression, anxiety, and other perinatal mood disorders.

I have over twelve years of experience working with adults facing difficult life transitions, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and medical issues. Before moving into private practice, I worked at Northwestern Medicine and specialized in women’s mental health. I coordinated services and provided therapy for pregnant and postpartum women in a nationally renowned program. I worked collaboratively with OB-GYNs, perinatal psychiatrists, social workers, and other leaders in this space.

Being a mom is undoubtedly my most important role. My personal experience with pregnancy and motherhood furthers my passion for working with other women through this transition. Motherhood has shaped me into the person I am today, but it has also been a difficult journey.

I use a combination of different therapy techniques individualized to each person, as everyone’s stories and needs are unique. Some of these techniques include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Strengths Based Therapy, Behavioral Activation, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

Being a mother is my most important role, and a close second is my dedication to supporting women through the many transitions of womanhood and motherhood. My passion is shaped by both professional training and lived experience, including IVF survivorship, miscarriage, an unexpected NICU stay, a challenging postpartum period, and raising two elementary-aged children.

I bring a deep understanding of the emotional, physical, and identity shifts that accompany pregnancy, postpartum, parenting, perimenopause, and menopause. My clinical work also includes supporting women navigating complex maternal relationships and early attachment experiences shaped by past trauma, which have deeply informed my therapeutic approach.

I also recognize that many of us are balancing expectations for what life “should” look like with the realities of consistently evolving roles, responsibilities, and a changing world. Supporting clients in setting realistic, flexible goals amidst this ongoing evolution is a central part of my work.

As a first-generation Indian American woman, I understand the complexities of balancing cultural expectations within Western systems. My work is grounded in compassion, insight, and practical tools that support healing, growth, and self-trust. If you are seeking support during a time of transition, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, certified perinatal therapist, and mother. I am passionate about working with women as they navigate life transitions surrounding pregnancy and motherhood. While these seasons of life are so incredibly special, they can also be some of the most challenging times. I recognize that this process often brings feelings of insecurity, grief, lack of identity, and reduced self-esteem. As a mother of twins and someone that has experienced pregnancy loss, I can relate to the complex challenges that arise when experiencing a high-risk pregnancy, navigating the NICU, postpartum anxiety therapist, and adjusting to parenthood.

Much of my background has been in healthcare, where I’ve focused specifically on crisis intervention and perinatal mental health. I’ve worked with parents who have a variety of stressors including domestic violence, substance use, unplanned pregnancy, premature delivery, birth trauma, and infant loss/termination. These experiences have also contributed to my love for helping clients navigate intimacy and relationship challenges that emerge during these seasons of life.

Throughout my career, I have completed training in perinatal mood disorders, trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and sexual abuse. I believe in taking a holistic approach to therapy and using a combination of therapy techniques individualized to each person. I am an open-minded and inclusive person who would love to meet you wherever you are in this crazy journey of parenthood. If you are looking for a postpartum depression, birth trauma, premature delivery, or postpartum anxiety therapist, we may be the right fit. Contact us to get started, today!

I’m the Intake Coordinator here at Matrescence Therapy. Currently, I’m immersed in my psychology degree with a clear goal of specializing as a sex therapist with an emphasis on somatics, exploring the relationship between the mind and body. I am passionate about guiding women through various aspects of self-discovery and reclamation. I hold a deep reverence for motherhood, recognizing its profound significance in women’s lives.

Outside of work and studies, I enjoy cooking, seeing live music, spending time with family, and connecting with nature. My goal is to support the holistic well-being of our clients while honoring the sacred journey of motherhood.
