A note from Aarti:

You’ve taken the courageous step to seek help to get a better hold on life. This can be the hardest part of the journey. Whether you are struggling with a temporary blip or something that has been a lifelong battle, together we can find strategies to overcome the obstacles that are preventing you from being the best version of yourself.  

Over the years, I have seen people struggle with stress, anxiety, work life balance, parenting challenges and grief.  Many of us are trying to cope with being a part of the sandwich generation - where we are caring for aging family members and growing children at the same time.  It can be easy to get lost in that very delicate balance of trying to be perfect in a world that seems to be getting increasingly complicated.  Together, we can find manageable ways to approach these challenges.

Growing up as a child of immigrants, I have seen the challenges and pressures in my community as one attempts to assimilate into their current society while holding on to a culture that is so much of who they are.  Striking a balance between meeting cultural expectations and forging your own path can be an obstacle towards achieving personal happiness.  Even asking for help can be considered a sign of weakness- “I don’t really need therapy.”  Perhaps you don’t “need” it, but you may have decided you want to make things better for yourself. So here we are, let’s start this journey together.

My approach:

My approach follows the systems theory, the study of how an individual and their environment impact each other.  This makes each of us unique and there is no one single approach that works for everybody.  My personalized style of therapy will cater to your specific needs and the approach that is best for you.

Through my corporate experience in Human Resources and Employee Relations along with my clinical experience,  I have worked with:

• Highly successful people struggling with stress, anxiety and work-life balance.   

• Individuals striving to be at the top of their game both professionally and as parents.

• Children of aging parents who are also parents themselves struggling to balance and prioritize the many life roles they play.

• People who are grieving the loss of a loved one and seeking to redefine their path forward.
