About

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Originally from India, I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist dedicated to helping you feel supported in becoming more fully yourself. I have a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from San Diego State University and am currently pursuing postgraduate training in psychoanalytically informed psychotherapy at the San Diego Psychoanalytic Center. My clinical training includes work across community mental health, school-based, and private practice settings.

Informed by psychodynamic and family systems frameworks, I work with individuals, couples, and families dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, life transitions, and questions of identity and belonging. Rather than focusing only on surface symptoms, I help you understand the deeper patterns and life experiences that shape how you feel and relate to others. My goal is to offer a warm, compassionate space where you can better understand your own emotional life and build meaningful, lasting change.

Offering therapy in English and Hindi, I bring a culturally attuned lens to my work, with a focus on helping couples, individuals navigating bicultural identities, and men dealing with relationship struggles and isolation. Before becoming a therapist, I trained in urban planning at MIT and spent a decade as an artisan bread baker. These experiences have shaped the patience, care, and attentiveness I bring in listening to you.

As an associate therapist, I work under the clinical supervision of Dr. Etianne Manetta, Psy.D. If something here resonates, I invite you to reach out to schedule a consultation.
