About Me

After over 2 decades working as a Psychologist in Scarsdale New York, my husband and I (plus our beloved dog, Pluto) moved to sunny Orange County California to be closer to my parents. I have now established a practice as a coach/advocate helping mostly young adults struggling with addiction, ADHD or social issues where I can assist in improving self-esteem and confidence.

Born in India, my architect father moved us to Jos, Nigeria where I completed high school. We later moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan and after my marriage we lived in Scarsdale, a New York City suburb. Following the birth of my two wonderful kids, I decided to pursue a Doctorate in Psychology at NYU. I was inspired by my sisters journey in overcoming mental health and addiction challenges in her adolescent years.

I’m an incurable optimist and I believe anyone can create the life they seek, sometimes it just takes some guidance and empathy.
