Devika has spent her life finding her way into rooms where people make things together — and noticing what becomes possible there.
She is a therapist, artist, and improviser. She holds a Master of Arts in Marital and Family Therapy with a concentration in art therapy from Loyola Marymount University. Her work has taken her from a digital therapy startup to an art-making pop-up to a psychiatry department at Kaiser — and now into schools, where she shows up every day to support adolescents making sense of their lives.
Her own art practice began as doodles at the edges of high school notebooks and has since become a daily practice for making sense of all that comes with being alive. She also has a longstanding love for improvisational comedy. She first stepped on stage in 2008 and never looked back. Her improvisational homes have included ComedySportz San Jose, Seattle University's D1 Improv, and Un-Scripted Theater in San Francisco — and she has had the joy of performing at festivals including Leela's Femproviser Fest and SF Sketchfest.
