If you feel like your past experiences or your upbringing are holding you back or if you are having a difficult time navigating conflict or managing compassion fatigue- I want you to know support is available for you.
I help people who feel weighed down by external pressure or people who are managing difficult family relationships, emotionally immature parents or trauma passed through generations process and feel lighter and more empowered. I help individuals break through intergenerational trauma or work on behaviors and patterns that they don’t want to carry forward in future generations.
If you are an animal welfare worker, and experiencing compassion fatigue, burnout or feeling traumatized and defeated, I will ensure you feel validated, understood and have the space to process your difficult experiences.
Root and Rise Therapy seeks to help people who have experienced hardship and childhood trauma heal, as well as support animal welfare workers with compassion fatigue and trauma related symptoms. We also specialize in supporting animal welfare workers.This space is created for people of color and animal welfare workers to experience inner healing and feel empowered.
Root and Rise Therapy works with couples who are experiencing conflict related to family issues, couples wanting to break or end generational patterns or couples seeking pre-marital therapy.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and animal shelter volunteer with extensive experience working with adults and adolescents in my 7+ years of practicing therapy. My expertise includes generational trauma, navigating South Asian identity childhood or relationship trauma, substance use issues, life transitions, self esteem, mental health issues and relationship challenges. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Re-Processing Therapy (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy, Brainspotting Phase 1 and Gottman Level 1 for couples. My approach involves understanding who you are as a person first and the unique complexities that make up who you are, while tapping into your strengths and incorporating other therapeutic techniques when appropriate.
As a second-generation South Asian, I understand and have personally navigated cultural differences, family dynamics, and the impact of unresolved trauma or navigating a bicultural identity. Cultural and generational traumas might have been normalized or brushed aside during one's upbringing. I am also a volunteer in animal shelters and a foster fur parent, so I have a different perspective of animal welfare. Therapy can be a powerful step toward addressing and healing these issues. My goal is to provide a non-judgmental, comfortable environment where progress happens at the client's pace. No blank slate here!
