About Me

I offer a supportive space for adults navigating life's challenges. I provide psychological first aid, mental health Counseling, career guidance, and support for substance abuse and suicide prevention. My aim is to guide you towards clarity and resilience, offering practical guidance for daily well-being. Clients seeking a compassionate, practical approach to complex moments will find a strong match.

Approach

When we meet, conversation quickly turns toward immediate safety, steadying techniques and small, achievable steps so you leave with clearer footing and something to try before the next session. I work with people in Puttaparthi and online, in English or Telugu, and structure sessions to fit your pace and daily life. We blend mindful practice, focused problem-solving and psychoeducation with collaborative planning to address anxiety, substance concerns, career crossroads or family strain. This way of working often suits adults seeking practical support and steady progress.
