Your journey toward clarity & healing begins here.
I started Rao Counseling to create the kind of space I wish more people had—safe, compassionate, and grounded in culture. I understand how complex family, identity, and caregiving can be, and I’m here to walk with you through it. I also support seniors, individuals navigating memory loss, and the caregivers who love them.

Change has a way of quietly reshaping our lives long before we’re ready to name it... Anitya reminds us that everything is moving, shifting, softening, evolving.
Everything is temporary. Sadness is temporary. Happiness is temporary. Laughter is temporary.

Caregiving often grows from deep family bonds. Sometimes the most supportive step is simply creating space to acknowledge the full experience — devotion alongside fatigue, purpose alongside grief.
