Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

verified by TherapyRoute

Hey! I'm Astha. I specialize in trauma, attachment, and relational dynamics. I work with individuals, couples, and families to understand their patterns, build emotional safety, and strengthen connection.

About Me

I became a therapist because I’ve seen how deeply relationships shape our lives, and I’m passionate about supporting people as they explore their stories, heal old wounds, and grow toward the life and relationships they want.I believe you are the expert of your own experience, and I offer a steady, compassionate space to help you make sense of your patterns and create lasting change. Clients often leave sessions feeling understood, empowered, and more connected with themselves and the people they care about.

Approach

My approach is collaborative and trauma-informed, creating a space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered to make meaningful change.
