“It’s really nice to talk to someone who just gets it. With Anooshka I don’t have to explain my family and culture. She’s helpful, kind and supportive. Everything you want in a therapist!”

Working with Anooshka…

When you’re anxious, overwhelmed, and stuck in your own head, you replay conversations, obsess over decisions, struggle with intrusive thoughts, and put enormous pressure on yourself to get things right. If you’re exhausted from overthinking everything but still can’t switch your brain off, I can help you understand what’s keeping you caught in these loops, loosen their grip, and start trusting yourself again.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, perfectionism, work and academic stress, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, and major life transitions. Together, we’ll understand what’s driving these patterns, work through what’s keeping you stuck, and help you feel more grounded and confident in your choices, relationships, and everyday life.

My practice is also especially welcoming to South and East Asian Americans, immigrants, children of immigrants, people of color, neurodivergent individuals, and LGBTQ+ clients. Family, culture, faith, and identity can add another layer to anxiety and relationship struggles, especially when what you want for yourself conflicts with what you’ve been taught to expect from yourself.

My approach is collaborative, relational, and curious. We’ll look at the relationships, beliefs, and experiences that shaped you, but we won’t just talk about why you feel the way you do. We’ll work toward changing the patterns that are making your life harder now.

I provide therapy in English, Bengali, and Hindi. Having lived and trained across cultures myself, I understand how complicated belonging can be, and how powerful it is to have a therapist who understands that context without needing every part of it explained.

Education and Experience…

I have two Masters degrees: one in Applied Psychology and Counseling Psychology, and a second Masters degree in Mental Health Counseling.

My clinical experience spans two countries and includes working with adults and adolescents experiencing career and school stress, anxiety, self-doubt, major life transitions, complex trauma, perfectionism and relationship challenges.

Across every setting, I’ve remained committed to creating an affirming, culturally responsive space where clients feel deeply understood. I believe meaningful therapy begins with genuine human connection and grows through curiosity, collaboration, and the courage to explore every part of who you are.

Therapy isn’t as scary as you think. Let’s get started today.
