About My Clients
As far as anyone can tell, you’ve “made it” professionally. But getting to this place often meant you had to work twice as hard as your dominant culture counterparts. And now that you’ve reached your career goals, you’re wondering: Why do my relationships with my co-workers, my friends, my partner(s), or my family still feel stagnant, unsatisfying, or confusing? In Therapy with Rani (that’s me!), we will explore these patterns at your own pace so you emerge feeling more grounded and confident.
My Background and Approach
I provide individual EMDR therapy for young professionals, particularly young professionals of color, who live in Oregon. EMDR is a type of therapy that is particularly effective for people who have gone through distressing experiences either at specific points in their lives or throughout their lives. I work best with people who are in touch with their emotions, “high achievers” (looking at you, my fellow “pleasure to have in class” people!), and ready to do the work of self-exploration. We'd likely be a good fit if: you're the type of "high achiever" who's ambitious but not cutthroat, you're self-motivated and emotionally attuned, you worry about sharing more with people in your life because you're sensitive to all the stuff they might have going on, and you're ready to invest in your own healing so you can start to open up to the people you love and trust.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I recognize that, while therapy alone cannot solve larger sociopolitical issues like surviving under capitalism, it can be a place where you can come to greater understand yourself and how your experiences and environment affect you. I know that turning to community can sometimes be a fraught experience, but it can also be a place of great healing. My role as your therapist is to be a supportive presence guiding you and giving you tools to help your body and mind process the things you’ve been through.
