Hi there, I'm Uttara!

As an immigrant and South Asian woman of color, I am dedicated to helping individuals feel empowered and develop healthy growth-fostering connections through mutual empathy, authenticity, and genuineness.

My focus

I strongly believe that the relationship between client and counselor is an agent of change and one of the most important alliances that can be created in a therapeutic relationship.

My approach

In my work, I utilize an integrative approach that is grounded in client-centered and strengths-based approaches, while focusing on relational-cultural attributes.
