About Me

Finding the right therapist matters. Here's what working together looks like.

Whether you're navigating trauma, identity, relationships, or a season of life that feels too heavy to carry alone, this is a space built around you.

With a Master's in Applied Psychology from TISS Mumbai and years of work across diverse communities, my approach is trauma-informed, neuro-affirmative, and queer-affirmative. Your nervous system, your identity, and your lived experience are all part of the picture. Never pathologized, always respected.

Therapy here isn't a formula. It's a collaborative process shaped by your unique needs, values, and goals. Expect warmth, honesty, and tools that actually fit your life.

What clients often discover along the way: stronger resilience, deeper self-trust, and a clearer sense of what connection means for them.

I speak English and Hindi and a bit of Gujarati, and Bengali.
