About Leela

I believe healing is possible for everyone

I offer comprehensive, inclusive mental health therapy, embracing diversity in gender, race, neurology, sexual orientation, religion, and culture. My focus is addressing anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and trauma through integrative and holistic approaches.

Serving clients across California and Michigan via teletherapy — and extending a complimentary 20-minute consultation to explore our fit before you commit to anything.

I integrate modern techniques like IFS, Polyvagal Theory, Pain Reprocessing Therapy, and Mindfulness. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, life transitions, chronic pain, or relationship issues — expect a partnership that empowers you toward a fulfilling life.

Areas of Expertise

Specialized care for the challenges that matter most

Every session is tailored entirely to you
— your pace, your goals, your story.

01 · Anxiety

Anxiety

Generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic attacks, and specific phobias — addressed through evidence-based integrative approaches that go beyond symptom management to root-level healing.

02 · Chronic Pain

Chronic Pain

Persistent pain that lasts months or years. PRT, CBT, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction address both the mind and body aspects for comprehensive, lasting relief.

Relational Trauma

Harm within close relationships shapes how you connect with others. IFS and Polyvagal Theory create a safe space to heal and restore trust in yourself and others.
