About
I work with adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, burnout, grief, relationship patterns, and the after-effects of overwhelming experiences.
Therapy here is collaborative: we notice what is happening, make sense of it together, and practice changes that can travel beyond the therapy room.
The approach
Think less fix yourself, more cultivate conditions where growth becomes possible. Sessions blend evidence-informed practice with human conversation.

“You don't have to arrive with the right words. We can start with what is here.”- Anika Rao, Therapist
Care, with structure.
Clear goals, gentle accountability, and enough flexibility to meet the person in front of me - not a checklist.
Areas of focus
My work is especially suited to people who are thoughtful, self-aware, and tired of carrying everything alone.
