Hi there, I'm Sheela!

Whatever you're feeling right now, whether it's anxiety, sadness, jealousy, anger, or all of the above, is just part of being human. No emotion is inherently bad, but they can negatively affect how we function if we don't know how to manage and express them appropriately. If you want to make changes but have no idea where to start, I can help.

My focus

I work with adults coping with anxiety, body image concerns, complex trauma and PTSD, cultural identity stress, depression, intergenerational family conflict, and life transitions. Many of my clients identify as BIPOC, female, immigrants or their children, LGBTQ+, or otherwise marginalized in mainstream society.

My approach

I will be an empathetic, nonjudgmental ally as you grow and heal. My practice is trauma-focused, culturally sensitive, and intersectional. I work from a psychodynamic, attachment-based lens, considering how your past shaped you, while utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused approaches.
