I am a licensed therapist in Nebraska, Iowa, and Florida with 8 years of experience. I have worked with clients with various concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, substance misuse, and post-traumatic stress disorder. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse—providing support, advocacy, safety planning, and resources to survivors of powerbase violence. I focused on building my knowledge to provide inclusive, trauma-informed advocacy and mental health services with integrity and innovation.
My therapy style is warm, direct, and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines attachment-based, internal family systems, solution-focused, client-centered, and dialectical behavior therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and take the first steps towards change. I am here to support and empower you if you are ready to take that step.
I look forward to working with you!

Sarika is very attentive and really takes time to learn you as a person. She takes notes, listens very well and is always curious. She also provides great feedback and suggestions to help lead you to be the version of yourself that you want to see

I don’t know where to start. Sarika is kind, thoughtful, understanding, and amazing. She is extremely helpful, works through things with me, and reminds me that I am important. I have had multiple therapists in my life, Sarika is by far one of the best! I could not recommend her more!! 10 out of 10!

In only 2 sessions I have made a lot of progress and feel confident that continuing to meet with Sarika will help my relationship significantly. I am looking forward to working with her to better my life. She is a great listener and offers wise advice that does not come across harsh or judgmental, but informative and supportive. She gives good real life examples to help me better understand and she helps me feel like I’m not alone in my struggles. I am so thankful to have been matched with her and truly respect and appreciate her non biased advice! She is amazing.

I have bad anxiety and a lot of childhood trauma. She has given great advice on how to deal with both. She is very nice and a great listener. Definitely recommend her.

Sarika was great support throughout my therapy. She's been extremely accommodating and understanding. She's gone above and beyond and helped me to feel better in very short period of time. Since I've started my therapy I felt relived and I firmly believe it was the guidance and assistance I was provided with by Sarika. Thank you so much for all help!
