Our Story
As the founder of Manas Cor Psych, I bring an array of experiences and expertise to this practice. With a strong background in psychology, my training and research have shaped my approach to mental wellness.
My desire to start a small private practice geared toward diversity and a balanced perspective for mental health support inspired the name Manas Cor. Manas is Sanskrit for “mind” and Cor is Latin for “heart”, both are nods to my identities as a South Asian American woman and a clinical psychologist who uses evidence-based practices in my clinical work.
I received my doctorate from University of Virginia and have completed training and/or worked in the following settings: UT Health San Antonio, Georgetown University, Capital Institute for Cognitive Therapy, and Cherry Tree Neuropsychology. I have also received a Graduate Certificate from the University of Maryland with specialized training for Working With Survivors of Violence, Torture, and Trauma. I enjoy practicing as a generalist, however, my therapeutic specialties include treating complex trauma, grief, young professional identities, severe mood and anxiety disorders.
Welcome to my practice!
