Hello I Am Drashti
I'm Drashti
My own journey with mental health was filled with wondering if things could ever really feel different—and doubting what change even meant. But it was in that very confusion and lostness that I discovered the quiet power of being met with care and acceptance. I hope to offer the same to you—as we walk through your struggles, questions, and uncertainties, and hold space for the slow shifts that help you come home to yourself.

Therapy With Me
Safe & Judgment-Free Space
My therapy room is designed to feel warm and inviting—a place where you can truly be yourself without fear of judgment. I believe that healing happens when we feel safe enough to explore challenging emotions and experiences. Throughout our work together, I maintain a stance of curiosity and compassion. There's no topic too difficult or emotion too intense to bring into our sessions. Your experiences are valid, and your feelings matter.
Collaborative & Personalized
Therapy isn't one-size-fits-all, which is why I take time to understand your unique experiences, strengths, and challenges. Together, we'll craft a therapeutic approach that resonates with your personal style and needs. I view therapy as a collaborative journey where we're partners. While I bring expertise in psychological theory and therapeutic techniques, you are the expert on your life. Your feedback is essential in guiding our work together.
Growth-Oriented & Empowering
While alleviating symptoms is important, my approach goes beyond simply managing problems. I'm passionate about helping you develop deep self-understanding, self-compassion, and the tools to create lasting positive change. My goal is to help you not just survive but thrive. Through our work together, you'll develop insights and skills that extend far beyond our sessions, empowering you to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and resilience.
Beyond the therapy room
Nature Enthusiast
When I'm not in the therapy room, you'll likely find me exploring hiking trails with my golden retriever, Cooper. Being in nature helps me recharge and stay grounded.
Plant Parent
I'm passionate about my ever-growing collection of houseplants. There's something special about nurturing growth—whether it's plants or people!
Avid Reader
Books have always been my refuge. I love losing myself in a good novel, and I'm constantly reading new psychology books to expand my knowledge.
Music & Mindfulness
I maintain my own meditation practice and love discovering new music. Both help me stay present and connected to what matters most.
Foodie & Host
I enjoy cooking, particularly experimenting with new vegetarian recipes, and hosting small gatherings with friends. Food brings people together in such a special way.
