Hi, I'm Silva.
I’ve dedicated my career to helping individuals and families find clarity in their lives and strengthen their relationships.
My practice is named after the Sanskrit word “Mudita” — the altruistic joy one derives from helping others and seeing them experience happiness. This ethos lies at the core of my therapeutic practice. My primary goal is to help you help yourself.
Together, we’ll identify your weaknesses, strengths, and everything in between — examining your past without judgment so you can envision your future fearlessly. I’d be honored to take this journey with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is individual therapy?
Individual therapy is a one-on-one space where you can bring what feels heavy, confusing, repetitive, or difficult to hold on your own. It is a place to slow things down and begin making sense of your emotional world with support, structure, and consistency.
How will I know if individual therapy is right for me?
If you find yourself stuck in patterns you can name but can’t change, or carrying experiences that feel unprocessed, therapy is a good place to start.
What happens in individual therapy sessions?
Sessions are conversation-based. Over time we map the patterns shaping your inner life and work toward more freedom of response.
What is couples therapy?
Couples work focuses on the dynamic between two people — not which one is right, but what’s happening in the space between.
What is a psychological evaluation?
A structured assessment using interviews and standardized measures to clarify diagnosis, inform treatment, and answer specific clinical or referral questions.
How long does an assessment take?
It varies by referral question — typically a few sessions across testing, scoring, and a feedback session.
Will I receive a written report?
Yes. Evaluations include a comprehensive written report and a feedback session to walk through the findings.
What is clinical consultation?
Case consultation and clinical supervision for practitioners navigating complex presentations, plus psychologically informed consulting for organizations.
Do you offer supervision toward licensure?
Yes — supervision for pre- and post-licensure clinicians, structured to your jurisdiction’s requirements.
Testimonials
“I came in feeling completely lost, unsure if things could ever get better. The sessions gave me a safe space to understand myself in ways I never had before. Slowly, I started reconnecting with who I am. I’m genuinely grateful for that support — it made all the difference.”

You Don't Have to Have a "Big Enough" Reason to Go to Therapy
A lot of people wait until they’re in crisis before asking for help. But therapy isn’t only for rock bottom. If something feels off — even if you can’t name it — that’s already enough.
