Hi there, I'm Shruthi!

I offer a listening ear, a gentle but direct approach, and insightful feedback to help you move forward in creating the life you desire. Beginning therapy is a courageous step, and I commend you for taking it. Together, we can create a space that feels safe, respectful, and genuinely supportive—where you can be your true self.

My focus

My focus is on helping individuals work through life transitions, anxiety, depression, aging, chronic disease management, and concerns related to multicultural backgrounds and trauma.

My approach

I approach therapy with collaboration and compassion, always tailoring our work to fit your unique experiences and goals. Through active listening and meaningful reflection, I help you challenge negative thinking patterns and develop practical tools for lasting change.
