You Don't Have to Keep Pretending Everything Is Fine

Maybe you've been carrying something heavy for years. The memories that won't fade. The anxiety that follows you everywhere. The feeling that you're constantly running on empty but can't stop.

You've managed. You've coped. You've pushed through. But somewhere along the way, "getting by" stopped feeling like enough.

I'm Sukhi. As a South Asian woman and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, I understand the unique pressures of navigating mental health in our community. The silence around trauma. The stigma around asking for help. The feeling of being caught between two worlds.

My approach is warm, culturally-informed, and evidence-based. I specialize in helping people heal from PTSD and trauma, manage overwhelming anxiety, and rebuild the self-worth that life has worn down.

Through telehealth, I work with clients across Illinois. You don't need to commute or sit in a waiting room. Just find a private space, log on, and let's start this journey together.

Why clients choose to work with me:

  • Cultural understanding — I get the desi experience
  • Trauma expertise — Specialized PTSD training
  • Flexible telehealth — Sessions from anywhere in IL
  • Insurance accepted — Affordable care via Headway

How I Can Help

Evidence-based therapy for what you're going through

Anxiety

Learn to manage overwhelming thoughts and physical symptoms with practical strategies that actually work for your life.

ADHD

Develop strategies to work with your brain, not against it. Manage daily challenges with self-compassion.

Stress & Burnout

Build resilience to handle life's pressures without burning out. Especially for high-achievers.

Self-Esteem

Rebuild confidence and silence your inner critic. Learn to value yourself.

South Asian & Multicultural Focus

Navigate cultural identity, family expectations, intergenerational trauma, and the unique pressures of immigrant and first-gen life. Work with someone who understands that you can honor your roots and still grow in your own direction.

Quality Care, From Wherever You Are

The same effective therapy, without the commute

Your Safe Space

No waiting rooms. Connect from wherever feels comfortable—your couch, home office, or parked car during lunch.

Common Questions

What you might be wondering

Telehealth therapy happens through secure video conferencing. You'll receive a link before each session, find a private space with good internet, and we'll meet face-to-face virtually. Research shows it's just as effective as in-person therapy, and many clients find it more convenient and comfortable.
Yes! I accept most major insurance plans through Headway, including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, United Healthcare, and more. During your free consultation, we can verify your benefits and discuss any out-of-pocket costs.
Our first session is about getting to know each other. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy, your goals, and any concerns you have. I'll explain how I work and answer your questions. There's no pressure—it's a chance to see if we're a good fit.
Absolutely. Many of my clients are starting therapy for the first time. It's completely normal to feel nervous or unsure. My job is to create a safe, judgment-free space where you can explore at your own pace. We'll go as slowly as you need.
Yes! Multiple research studies have shown that telehealth therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy for treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, and trauma. The therapeutic relationship—which drives healing—forms just as well through video sessions.
Standard sessions are 50 minutes. We'll typically meet weekly to start, then adjust frequency based on your progress and needs. Some clients eventually move to biweekly or monthly sessions as they build confidence and skills.
