Hello
I'm Amita! I'm a Licensed Associate Counselor here at Find Your Shine and I absolutely love what I do. One of the things I love most about this work is seeing clients step into new ways of relating to themselves and others in a way that feels freeing and aligned with who they are.
​
A little about me:
-
I've been a professional vocalist and musician for over a decade. Creativity and performing continue to be important parts of how I connect with the world.
-
Therapy has been an impactful part of my own journey. I know how vulnerable it can feel at times and I strive to create the same safe and supportive environment that was offered to me.
-
I have a deep love for animals (especially my dog named Snacks!)
-
I'm a sucker for tiny things -- you'll probably notice some miniature items I have on my bookshelf in my office!
