Licensed Clinical Social Worker # 44SC05587900

Hello! I’m a first-generation South Asian therapist at We Rise Therapy and Wellness with over 15 years of experience in the field of social services. I received my undergraduate Psychology degree from Kean University and my master’s degree in Social Work from Rutgers University. My experience includes working with diverse populations in a variety of settings including but not limited to community counseling, hospitals, schools, non-profits and case/care management programs. In the past several years I have held leadership positions that have allowed me to direct and manage several community mental health programs.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and hold a certificate in Clinical Supervision that allows me to provide advanced level supervision to professionals obtaining clinical hours for their mental health and substance abuse credentialing. I recognize the impact of cultural, systemic, and intergenerational trauma that can cause conflict, instability or feelings of inadequacies within us. My areas of interest working with young, older and BIPOC adults includes: grief, loss, postpartum struggles, infertility, cultural identity struggles and mood instability. I also assist adults in managing life transitions i.e., marriage, divorce, relocation, career changes, parenthood, retirement and other changes that can cause us emotional distress.
