About Me

As a person-centred, insight-oriented psychotherapist, I guide individuals to explore their inner world with compassion. With over seven years in mental health, I draw from eclectic modalities like CBT, DBT, and Narrative therapy. My trauma-informed and queer affirmative practice provides a supportive space for diverse clients to find understanding. We might use Mindfulness to help you ground in the present, fostering resilience and clarity.

Approach

Guided by curiosity and respect, therapy unfolds as a collaborative exploration where you set the rhythm and I offer focused interventions to help you notice patterns and build safety. I work with adolescents and adults in Bangalore and online, in English or Hindi/Urdu, and we often shape short between-session practices or reflections to keep momentum. Sessions blend gentle inquiry, mindfulness grounding, DBT-informed skills and narrative work to process trauma, relationships, mood and identity questions. People who want practical self-understanding and steady change tend to find this approach helpful.
