Hi there, I'm Poonam!

Welcome to this space, your space. I believe that you are the expert of your own life, and that you have already navigated so much to arrive here. My therapeutic style is grounded in meeting you exactly where you are, leading with empathy and curiosity, and holding a safe space for your healing.

My focus

My clinical approach is rooted in relational and developmental work. I am EMDR trained and frequently pull from Internal Family Systems (IFS) work as a powerful source of support in the therapy room. While my primary focus today is working with adults, my practice is profoundly shaped by understanding our earliest relational frameworks.

My approach

I view therapy as a collaborative partnership, bringing a strong intuitive presence to our sessions. In our work together, you can expect me to gently reflect insights, explore more balanced thought patterns, and help you navigate life's complexities. I draw from a diverse range of modalities tailored to your unique needs.
