Preeti is an integrative, trauma-informed therapist committed to attending to the wholeness of those she supports. Her work honors the interconnected nature of healing, weaving narrative therapy and evidence-based practice with healing traditions from her Indian lineage. These include Ayurveda, pranayama, chakra science, and mindfulness. While Preeti enjoys working with a range of clients, she centers those who have marginalized and under-served, particularly immigrant and first-generation clients, Asians, elders, and LGBTQIA+ community members. She additionally specializes in support of those experiencing transitions around menopause.
