Ruach Counseling

Annu is a compassionate, approachable counselor who brings warmth, cultural depth, and clinical skill to every session. She has facilitated individual, couples, and group counseling and is well‑versed in evidence‑based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and person‑centered therapy. Her organized, detail‑oriented style helps clients feel safe, supported, and understood from the very first meeting. Annu’s journey into counseling began early. Born in Malaysia and moving to the United States at age 16, she developed a deep curiosity about people, emotions, and the ways culture shapes our experiences. That curiosity grew into a calling, leading her to pursue psychology and counseling so she could help others navigate life with clarity and confidence. She specializes in helping clients work through anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and behavior change. Clients appreciate her ability to blend empathy with practical tools—guiding them toward meaningful goals, healthier patterns, and renewed hope. Outside the therapy room, Annu is grounded by her family. She and her husband of 15+ years spend most weekends cheering on their 14‑year‑old son at the baseball field. As a family, they love traveling and have explored nearly every continent, gaining a rich appreciation for diverse cultures and traditions. Annu’s work is driven by a simple belief: when people feel genuinely seen and supported, real transformation becomes possible. Her goal is to help clients grow emotionally, strengthen relationships, and build lives that reflect their values and potential.
