About
As a South-Asian therapist, I bring warmth, curiosity, and a deep respect for your unique story, drawing from both my professional training and my lived experience to create a space where you feel truly seen and supported.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 4 years of experience supporting individuals through life transitions, anxiety, grief, mood disorders, trauma, and substance use. I specialize in working with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected—from themselves, their relationships, or their sense of purpose. Many of my clients come to therapy seeking clarity, healing, and a more grounded sense of self. Together, we work to understand patterns that no longer serve them, build resilience, and cultivate meaningful change.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University and I ground my approach in evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and dialectical behavioral therapy. I support clients in slowing down, tuning into their emotions and patterns, and making intentional choices.
I know that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and I want you to know you are not alone in whatever you are facing. If you’re ready to explore your story and take steps toward healing or growth, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. When you are ready, I invite you to take that next step—we will move forward at your pace together.

As someone who has worked in different care settings, my experience has helped me understand the importance of taking care of our mental health and its impact on overall health and wellbeing if ignored.
I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 10 years of nursing experience, including acute care, emergency room, and critical care. My broad experience across healthcare settings allows me to personalize treatment and medication management for adults, adolescents, and children with anxiety, depression, psychotic disorders, and trauma-related conditions.
I earned my Master’s in Nursing from Walden University, where I concentrated on psychiatric care. My approach to care begins with a thorough evaluation of symptoms and medication needs, followed by continuous collaboration to ensure progress and comfort while prioritizing safety and patient-centered outcomes.
My goal is to provide a compassionate, judgment-free environment where clients feel supported throughout their healing journey. Together, we will develop effective, individualized treatment strategies to reduce symptoms, restore balance, and help you achieve peace of mind and emotional well-being.

My use of DBT skills is based on incorporating skills beneficial for the regulation of intense emotions. I like to utilize these skills because they provide tools that are most beneficial for teaching clients to regulate intense emotions and ground themselves.
I teach the following tools with individual therapy:
I can tell a client is making meaningful progress in DBT when they are able to come back session after session and confidently report their ability to use skills, strategies, and routines they have been working on in treatment. Also, when they are using terminology they learned and demonstrate increased awareness and ability to regulate and manage whatever they are there working on in treatment.
I encourage clients to supplement their work in dialectical behavior therapy with positive, healthy, and effective activities, or what we refer to as pleasant events, utilizing them in their daily lives to help them feel like they are making progress towards a life worth living. Clients can also discuss activities, practices, routines, and habits that provide life satisfaction and help them feel like they are working toward long-term life goals. We will often look at a balanced life wheel that I have been known to share.
I encourage clients to prepare for their first DBT session by thinking about the areas of their lives where they hope treatment can help address intense emotional responses they are experiencing, allowing them to better regulate themselves and establish future goals in their lives they want to work toward.
At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.
DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.
The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in Woodbridge, VA is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
