About Me

I help individuals navigate challenging emotions and unhelpful thought patterns. My extensive background in psychology and psychiatry informs my integrated use of evidence-based CBT and REBT. We can explore your experiences together, finding practical ways to build resilience and foster emotional wellbeing. My aim is to help you gain a clearer understanding and feel more in control of your daily life.

Approach

Clinical curiosity guides how I work: we map troubling patterns into manageable experiments, test unhelpful beliefs and develop short, practical steps you can try between sessions. In Bangalore and online, in English, Kannada or Tamil, sessions are structured but flexible—brief agenda, focused skill rehearsal and regular review so progress is steady and measurable. I keep a measured pace, offer clear feedback and collaborate with you on problem-solving to reduce overwhelm and expand choices. Those facing persistent anxiety, mood shifts or relational strain often find this practical approach helpful.
