“I started seeing Prabha last year and I feel like my life wouldn’t be the same without her insight and help. I have been to therapists who just nod and don’t give feedback. She brought out a side of me that was buried and I will forever be thankful for that.”

The heart of successful therapy is the quality of relationship between client and therapist. In fact, it is the heart connection that acts as the force for genuine change. My approach is straightforward, down-to-earth and I incorporate a large helping of humor.
