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.
