At the heart of Priti’s clinical work is a deep belief that healing occurs within safe, secure, and attuned relationships. Her counseling approach is warm, collaborative, and relational, rooted in fostering a sense of safety and acceptance. She views the therapeutic relationship as a central conduit for transformation and growth. Priti seeks to meet her clients exactly where they are at by walking alongside her clients to help them come home to themselves. She supports her clients in reconnecting with their inner child and reclaiming their identities while expanding their capacity to carry grief throughout life.

Priti brings experience providing outpatient mental health services to adolescents, teens, adults, couples, and families. She works as both a generalist and as a reproductive mental health specialist provider. As a generalist, she treats various diagnoses including anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma-related disorders across all genders.

As a specialist, Priti supports both women and adolescent girls recovering from trauma, anxiety and depression, disordered eating and body-image difficulties. She has experience in supporting mothers with pregnancy-related and postpartum mental health difficulties, helping mothers embrace the journey of motherhood and navigate issues within marriage.

With a specific focus on healthy female adolescent development, Priti helps adolescent girls cultivate emotional resilience and navigate gender specific challenges associated with female adolescence. Priti understands that adolescence can be a tender, and often overwhelming stage of life, marked by social pressures, identity exploration, and emotional intensity.
