Not unlike many within this field, my own experiences with mental health influenced my decision to become a therapist. Through my own struggles in my young life, I found a passion for hearing other people’s experiences and empowering others to identify and utilize their strengths in moments of hardship. A couple of areas I specialize in navigating are: Ideas of perfectionism Developing self-compassion Exploring one’s cultural identity Coping with and understanding feeling “not good enough" Overcoming the stress of living up to expectations (cultural, intrapersonal, societal, parental) Setting boundaries Feeling torn between two or more cultures Feelings of shame, worry, or guilt I am an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist and I have a particular skill in working with people of color, first and second-generation immigrants, and folks new to therapy. Additionally, I deeply understand, honor, and respect the South Asian and Middle Eastern religions and cultures.

I am currently accepting new clients! Poor boundaries, putting others first, fear of outcomes, and lack of self-trust leads to people-pleasing, perfectionism, self-doubt, hurt feelings, resentment, poor self-esteem, unhealthy relationships, anxiety, depression, etc., ultimately is what leads people to therapy! Most people have not learned how to handle uncomfortable situations in healthy ways that feel comfortable specifically to them. Allow me to guide you with trusting yourself enough to choose you each time regardless of the outcome! When we put ourselves first, we will show up as our best selves! I specialize in a wide range of issues including depression/anxiety, coping with life transitions, communication in relationships, and parenting. I enjoy working with women, men, couples, and families with a myriad of challenges. I provide a supportive, culturally competent, judgment-free environment, specifically tailored to your individual needs. I incorporate a person-centered approach with interventions from, solution-focused, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. My clients love my down-to-earth personality which allows them to let their guard down, trust and share! We are all different for a reason and learning self-awareness is key to understanding and accepting, changing thoughts and behaviors.

Atlanta, GA

I work with teens (13+) and young adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, low self-worth, perfectionism, or the pressure to hold it all together. They may struggle with boundaries, burnout, or feeling like they're never “enough.” Deep down, they want to feel more confident, connected, and at ease—but they’re tired of doing it alone. They’re looking for support that feels real, not clinical. I offer a down-to-earth, solution-focused approach that blends CBT, experiential techniques, and often nature-based practices. I believe therapy should feel like a genuine connection, not a script. I help clients reconnect with their strengths, build practical tools, and create meaningful change—all at a pace that feels right for them.

Clinical Social Work/Therapist
Atlanta, GA

Hi! I'm Rosie (she/her). I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of both Georgia and Texas. I work primarily with young adults (20s and 30s), and many of my clients are people who identify as LGBTQIA+. I have special focus in trauma processing, ADHD management, and career exploration. Throughout my social work career I have passionately advocated for racial, social and economic justice through the empowerment of individuals and groups including BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, people with HIV, people experiencing homelessness, people with mental illness, people with disabilities, veterans, children and youth, and more. As a queer and neurodivergent therapist myself, I am mindful of how people’s identities factor into their experience of the world and their experience in therapy. I believe that people begin to heal the moment they feel heard. While I do incorporate interventions like CBT, EMDR, IFS, and distress tolerance, my first and foremost focus is to be unconditionally on your team and on your side. Past clients have told me that I am a natural listener and am genuine and warm in how I relate to people. When I am not obsessing over the personality psychology phenomenon known as the enneagram, I enjoy laying in the sun with a good podcast, jogging the Atlanta beltline, reading, cooking, yoga, and exploring the local food scene.

Where do you go when you just want to be validated and heard without judgement? Do you have a supportive, safe space? Life can be tough when you don’t have an outlet and you are struggling with depression, self-esteem, transition or other unresolved issues that are getting in the way of your quality of life and desired goals. Expressing what is on your heart is fundamental to having a peace-filled life and can put you on a better path. As a therapist, I can help you identify your strengths within. I believe you are your own expert! Together we will explore how past experiences may be connected to current behaviors, feelings or beliefs. My personal practice of mindfulness allows me to be fully present and attuned, creating a judgement-free space that supports you. I realize it can be a difficult decision to contact a therapist, one that requires courage and readiness. You have already taken the first step by searching. It is equally important to find a therapist that is the right fit for you. Note: I specialize in CBT, DBT, Trauma-focused CBT, grief, anxiety management, and narrative therapy.

Mental Health, especially in the minority cultures, is a touchy subject. It’s difficult to talk about and even more difficult to do something about. The most important thing in therapy is finding the right therapist for you. As a first generation, South Asian-American woman, I understand both cultures and the struggles that come with trying to blend the two. I strive to create an environment in which clients feel comfortable and at ease to facilitate sharing. You are the expert on your life and your experiences. I am here to help you gain better understanding of yourself so you can feel more confident in your decisions and in life. I work with you to determine your goals for therapy and support you along your therapeutic journey. I currently work with adolescents and adults. I have experience working with clients of all ages with challenges of trauma, depression, anxiety, life transitions, self-esteem, self-worth, self-identity, ADHD, perinatal mental health, and social skills. I am passionate about helping you find your voice and feeling empowered to use it.
