*Currently Accepting New Clients - Individuals: Ages 13+, Couples & Families

Priyanka works with teens, adults, couples, and families navigating change and life transitions. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or identity, she meets you exactly where you are with a warm, nonjudgmental presence, reminding clients: This space is for you. All of you is welcome. She has a special place in her heart for teens transitioning from middle school to high school, helping them feel safe being themselves.

She incorporates expressive and experiential modalities, such as art therapy & activity therapy, providing you the space to process your experience in your own way. Using mindfulness and emotional regulation tools, including Mindful Self-Compassion, DBT, ACT, she helps clients feel more attuned to their bodies, more able to self-regulate, and more secure in their own sense of safety and trust. She especially loves working with deep feelers, helping them relate to their emotions in a new way.

She believes we heal relationally, through connection built on safety, trust, and being truly seen. Working from a relational framework, she helps clients navigate family dynamics and generational trauma and build healthier, more authentic relationships. With couples, she draws on EFT, the Gottman Method, and the Developmental Model to help partners understand their patterns, repair rupture, and build deeper connection. Sexuality is a topic clients are welcome to bring up, knowing it will be held with the same comfort and openness.

Her approach is flexible, drawing on her experience teaching trauma-informed yoga, her own Zen practice, and her study of the nervous system through polyvagal theory. She is gender-affirming and especially enjoys working with neurodivergent clients. At the heart of her work is creating a safe space for clients to move through shame to acceptance, exploring who they are beneath inherited beliefs and cultural expectations, so they can live in closer alignment with their own values and truth.
