“Expert psychological care tailored to your needs. I offer compassionate, evidence-based therapy in a safe, non-judgmental space - supporting you through life’s challenges with care, clarity, and commitment to your well-being.”
About Me
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Life Associate Member based in Prabhadevi, Bandra West, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. I offer child and adolescent therapy, psychometric testing and diagnostic assessment for behaviour and conduct issues. I provide parenting guidance, stress management and psychotherapy for personal development.
Approach
My approach to therapy is integrative, drawing from evidence-based modalities to suit each individual’s unique needs. I often incorporate techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based practices, and several other modalities as there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I believe in fostering a collaborative and supportive therapeutic relationship, where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered to explore their inner world. Whether it's building emotional resilience, improving coping skills, or working through deeper patterns, my goal is to create a safe space that encourages self-awareness, healing, and long-term growth.
