Licensed Therapist, MSW, LICSW, LMSW
About
I love treating OCD because I know I will see progress throughout our sessions. My style as a therapist is about understanding where you're coming from, being empathetic to your needs, seeing which therapy tools fit into your life, and figuring out how you can adapt them to go in the direction you want. I've worked in the field of mental health for 30 years, treating depression, intellectual disabilities like autism, relationship issues, and problems with communication or self-esteem.

Rani is incredible. From the first session within a few minutes it was clear how much she cares, how much she knows, and how much she was going to help me. I’ve had like 4 sessions with her so far. She always validates me without reassuring me. And doing erp with her help is never embarrassing or impossible. Very thankful for her.

Rani is one of the best therapists I have ever had. Her help alone has helped me immensely with my anxiety, depression, and stress. I wouldn’t be where I am today (living a better more functional and happy) life if it wasn’t for her help.

I’ve only had two sessions with Rani and she has been a great mix of empathetic and gentle with helping me do my ERP. Love her already and am so thankful. Hopeful as more time spent with her, my OCD will be more manageable.

Livin the Dream! There’s nothing quite like interacting phobicly with your entire environment. It’s exhilarating to say the least about it. My counselor endeavors to support me emotionally, and it matters! Thanks!
