About Me
I am a counseling psychologist based in Bangalore, Karnataka, India. I hold a license in marriage and relationship counseling. I provide counseling for abuse, trauma, grief and loss, mood disorders, family issues, and life transitions, including divorce and faith-based counseling.
Approach
Sessions begin by mapping the patterns that keep you stuck, linking personal history to present interactions so we can choose small, practical shifts. I work from Bangalore and online, offering therapy in English, Malayalam and Tamil, keeping a steady pace that balances gentle challenge with practical skills. In-session we use focused exercises, role-rehearsals and structured feedback, and I set short between-session experiments to build new habits; for couples I weave Gottman-informed observations into that work. This approach suits people facing trust ruptures, personality conflicts or major life changes.

I provide online as well as in-person therapy.
