I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become. – Carl Jung

It is incredible that you are here looking for support to achieve your life goals and finding new perspectives with validation, therapeutic listening and a safe space to heal.

Are you looking to learn mechanisms to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, negative thoughts or insomnia? Are you navigating life transitions and working towards life goals to achieve? Are you looking to work on past trauma or intergenerational cultural trauma? Are you and your partner looking for support during fertility treatments, perinatal or postpartum phase? Are you looking to support your child with big emotions, express themselves and feel unstuck?

Remember, you're not alone in this journey. We're a team, and we can work together to navigate and explore your experiences. I believe in integrating different therapy modalities based on each client’s unique needs, ensuring that you're an active participant in your healing process.

My work in holistic wellness and crisis intervention has been a journey of healing, one that I've shared with individuals and families from diverse backgrounds. This experience has reinforced my belief in the holistic nature of mental wellness and inspired me to become a psychotherapist. As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I am committed to holding a healing space where we can collaboratively explore and navigate challenges to support in living a life that feels authentic to you with compassion and empathy. I am dedicated to integrating multiple therapy modalities to meet the unique needs of each client, and together, we can strive for new perspectives.

Realizing that you need help is the first step towards healing and reaching out to receive support is a brave step towards bringing in that change. Book a session with me and let us walk together in your healing journey to live a life that feels more authentic to you.

Some of my area of interest includes trauma, anxiety, depression and stress, life transitions, children’s therapy, perinatal, postnatal & fertility treatments phase and my approach to therapy includes Solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for PTSD, Psychodynamic therapy, Narrative therapy, Somatic Experience therapy and Existential therapy.

I can support you fluently in English, Hindi, Malayalam and Gujarati.
