Hi, I'm Sakthi. Let's create a space where you no longer have to abandon parts of yourself in order to belong.
I believe that so many of us learn early on to disconnect from ourselves to keep the peace, to meet expectations, or to hold a family together. My work centers on helping you come back home to who you are.
My approach is relational, psychodynamic, and attachment-based. I also draw on mindfulness, somatic awareness, person-centered therapy, and elements of CBT when they support emotional regulation, anxiety management, and grounding.
As a South Asian therapist with lived experience of a diasporic identity, I understand the quiet tension between cultural expectations, individuality, and belonging. I meet these dynamics with curiosity and care.
Education & training
Sakthi earned her degree from Antioch University, where she focused on the meeting point of individual and systemic wellbeing. Her training at the Jung Institute brought a deeper, soul-centered lens to her clinical work.
So many people have learned to disconnect from themselves in order to belong. I see therapy as a space where you no longer have to abandon parts of yourself to be loved, accepted, or understood.
