About Me
I am bi-cultural, mixed race (Indian and White) and, originally from Chicago. I am the child of an Indian immigrant from Mumbai and a Scandanavian-Minnesotan farmer and grew up immersed in both cultures. I value connection with people and animals, nature, authenticity and humor. I love a good pun or play on words. When not working (and it's not raining), I love spending time outside with my kiddos and partner, hanging with our dog Luna who is in training to become a certified therapy dog and curled up with a book whenever I can find a quiet moment.
I aim to integrate teachings from the worlds of clinical social work and subtle (yet profound) bodywork. I hold licenses in clinical social work (LCSW) and massage therapy (LMT) in the state of Oregon.
Education
