“Excellent therapist. I felt so much better after just one session. Monica put me at ease. Happy I finally started therapy.”

Working Together…

We will co-create a space of curiosity, compassion, and non-judgment where you can begin to explore those parts of yourself that feel difficult to love, while developing practical skills to thrive in your relationships and career.

As a bi-racial therapist of South Asian descent, I work well with college students, professionals and third culture adults who are coping with issues of perfectionism, anxiety, depression, OCD, self-esteem issues, relationship and career challenges that hold them back. From a values-driven lens, we will work together to make meaningful behavioral changes designed to bring more purpose and vitality to your life.

I offer interventions from a variety of therapeutic modalities, including ACT, Psychodynamic, IFS, Existential, and Narrative therapy, as well as provide therapy in both English and French.

Additionally, using ACT for Couples and Emotionally-focused Therapy (EFT), I help straight and LGBTQ+ couples seeking relationship counseling for communication and sexual issues, interracial relationship differences and struggles, difficult family dynamics, and dealing with the pain of infidelity. 

My experience growing up in a multicultural family helps me hold space for you as we process the nuanced complexities of your own racial and cultural experiences. I use a culturally sensitive approach to understand your experiences impacted by oppressive systems and help externalize feelings of guilt and self-blame you’ve unfairly been carrying.

Avoir des conversations et établir des liens avec une autre personne dans votre langue seconde peut être un défi. Si le français est votre langue maternelle, ce serait un honneur pour moi de pouvoir communiquer avec vous à partir de la langue dans laquelle vous vous sentez le plus à l’aise. J’aimerais discuter avec vous ou vos proches dans votre langue maternelle. Je fais de la thérapie en modalité virtuelle et face à face. Contactez-moi aujourd’hui et planifiez une première consultation gratuite de 15 minutes.

Education and Experience…

I earned my MA and EdM in Mental Health Counseling from Teachers College, Columbia University and  completed my BA in Economics and Philosophy from Boston College. 

My therapeutic work with high risk individuals has prepared me to work with a variety of presenting issues, including anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship difficulties, grief, and trauma. 

Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked as a Business Technology Consultant at Deloitte Consulting.

Therapy isn’t as scary as you think.

I honor and understand that everyone walks their own special path.

I hope to play an integral role in helping you along the journey.
