"I came to Rama as a completely lost 40 year old woman. I had been holding myself together to appear competent and confident to the outside world by sheer force of will my entire life. I didn't realize how exhausted this had made me until I started to lose my grip and pieces of myself I didn't recognize began showing through. Working with Rama for the last two years has helped me identify and heal from trauma I had ignored and make peace with the inherent version of myself so that existing isn't a daily battle between who I am and who I think I should be. Rama is the most intuitive therapist I have ever worked with. With her combination of direction, empathy, and insight, she was the exact guide I needed. She didn't give me the path to the life I want; she helped me acknowledge and create that path for myself. For that, and so much more, I am forever grateful."
"I met Rama at a crossroads in my life when I felt lost and anxious. Our work together since that day has been transformative. I am a much happier, more fulfilled person because of her. She is incredibly caring and is constantly learning more about her field to serve her clients better."
"Before I began therapy with Rama I found myself in a dark and frightening place. I saw no way out of anxiety, depression and addiction. I had essentially created my own hell. Working with Rama gave me a road map to recovery. She helped me learn new coping skills and tools to navigate my life. If not for Rama's compassion, ability and insights, I can only imagine with trepidation what my life would be like today. I am truly grateful for everything she has done for me."
"In the short time I’ve known Rama, she has been many things for me - a shoulder to cry on, a hand to hold, a parent, a mentor, a confidant, and at times I’m convinced she’s even an angel. Rama has a gift for bringing the gifts out in others, and without her warm light I would still be in the dark about my own. One thing I love about Rama is the way she guides me to my own realizations. She doesn’t tell me what I want to hear or fill in the blanks for me but rather is a gentle hand encouraging me to carve my own path. When I met Rama, I was in a bad living situation, had low self worth, and I was struggling with codependency and severe depression. Since then, she has introduced me to practical tools such as the Warrior Heart Practice, which has drastically changed the way I see myself and the world around me for the better. I have more joy, faith, stability, and purpose than I ever thought possible. And although I am still on this journey of recovery, I can move forward with confidence knowing I have Rama’s wisdom, empathy, honesty, and compassion to guide me through it."
"Rama was extremely critical piece in my initial pathway to recovery. Now we have established a very collaborative relationship that helps me grow far beyond my previous capacities. Many of my current successes are from the foundations that we have built the past few years."
"Rama showed me that I was capable of more. She taught me to question my perception of things I saw as flaws in myself. It took me a few months to integrate this practice into my life but I have felt more joy and clarity in my life ever since. I would compare Rama’s influence in my life to a boat lost at sea that found a lighthouse. I have achieved every goal I have set out to accomplish in the last 4 years thanks to Rama and I am a better person because of our work together".
“Personal and focused guidance. Great listener and understands well the complexities in roles and responsibilities of what I face each and every week.”
