About Manesha
I am a resident psychologist working towards licensure in the state of Oregon supervised by David Kays, PsyD.
Has life been harder lately? Have you experienced an event that’s had lasting repercussions? Are you growing curious and want to learn more about yourself? Whatever prompted you to seek therapy, finding the right therapist is a deeply personal decision.
Therapy is a vulnerable process. My hope is that together we can create a secure environment for us to tackle even the most painful and discomforting topics. My practice is centered around walking with clients as they take charge of their narratives and seek to gain a deeper understanding of themselves. I offer therapy to adult clients, with particular specialties in early childhood trauma, major life transitions, and personal growth and exploration. I have also received training in addiction recovery from a trauma-informed lens.
I encourage my clients to speak as openly and freely as possible, particularly about the concerns that brought them here. I listen attentively and with curiosity to what you share. With empathy and kindness, I offer reflections on what I am hearing and bring your attention to things that may be outside your awareness. I offer accountability and support while keeping your goals at the forefront of our work. If this sounds like what you are looking for, I hope to hear from you and get started on our journey together!

You may seem OK on the outside, but on the inside, your mind rarely slows down. There is constant mental noise: second-guessing yourself and others, constant “what ifs?”, fear of failure, or thoughts that feel intrusive and hard to dismiss. Anxiety can be subtle or overwhelming, but over time it begins to dictate choices, routines, and even your sense of self. Left unchecked, it becomes exhausting, convincing, and relentless. I specialize in treating anxiety, including OCD. Using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we focus on changing your relationship with anxiety and other uncomfortable feelings. That might mean gradually addressing avoidance tendencies, reducing compulsions, building tolerance for uncertainty, or changing how you respond to intrusive thoughts. My approach is active, practical, and collaborative. We don’t just analyze feelings - we work with them directly. I also enjoy working with ADHD, especially when anxiety and executive functioning challenges overlap. When things always feel harder than they “should” be, we focus on reducing shame, building sustainable systems, and increasing consistency. Over time, you can learn to build real trust in your ability to handle what’s in front of you. My approach blends evidence-based treatment with warmth, humor, and a clear plan. Anxiety is part of being human, but with the right support, you can build the skills to live life on your terms. I offer free 20-minute phone consults for our initial introduction to each other. Appointment slots generally offered Monday-Thursday from 11:00 to 4:00.
