I am a Relational and Integrative Marriage and Family Therapist working with individuals and couples in New York.

I help adult clients in their 20s through 40s to develop self-awareness and connection in inner life and relationships.

My approach is reflective and relational.

My work is grounded in relational systems thinking and an East–West perspective that combines contemporary family therapy with contemplative traditions. I utilize Bowen Family Systems Theory and draw from my studies in Eastern philosophy, Vedic counseling, and meditation.

Together, we explore internal processes and relational dynamics that shape experience, opening space for greater freedom and connection.

I have a special interest in working with new mothers and parents as they navigate the psychological and relational shifts that accompany parenthood.

Integrating inner awareness and relational patterns for deeper connection

Therapy that honors who you are

I integrate relational systems therapy with contemplative practices, helping clients understand both their inner life and their relationship patterns with greater clarity and compassion. I offer a reflective, non-pathologizing space—especially during life transitions like early parenthood—where meaningful, lasting change can emerge.

At Embracing Joy Psychotherapy, I’m honored to be part of a community that prioritizes connection and whole-person well-being.
