About Shivraj

Whether you’re a high-achieving professional navigating stress and expectations or a stay-at-home dad managing family dynamics, stress can affect everyone. Life transitions or significant events often bring up challenging emotions like fear, anger, or sadness, leaving you feeling overwhelmed or stuck.  As a licensed therapist, I offer a compassionate, culturally informed approach rooted in professional expertise to help you ease your symptoms and navigate these challenges.

I support individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma (intergenerational and religious/spiritual), PTSD, grief, relationship issues, parenting challenges, spiritual exploration, executive stress management and more. I also support couples in creating authentic and meaningful connections while honoring individuality. As a South Asian parent in a cross-cultural marriage, I understand the nuanced challenges of balancing cultural expectations with personal and relational needs. I am familiar with the mental health challenges faced by South Asian individuals in Indian communities and/or desi families, and especially those with Sikh, Punjabi, and/or Hindi-speaking backgrounds.

I hold a Master of Social Work from Portland State University and a Bachelor of General Science from the University of Oregon. Additionally I have a background in Ayurveda, yoga, meditation, exercise science, and wellness coaching.

Using a humanistic and holistic approach, I tailor therapy to each individual’s needs, incorporating techniques such as Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral, Solution-Focused, Jungian Psychology, and more. I am an avid learner committed to my professional growth. Life is too short for ongoing suffering—let’s talk!  I am here to support you on your personal growth, providing an inclusive and affirming space where everyone is welcome.
