About Me

As a Clinical Psychologist, she helps individuals uncover new perspectives and inner strengths. Drawing on NLP, Cognitive Hypnotic Coaching, and Arts Based Therapy, she offers a varied approach. Clients seeking to understand patterns or express complex emotions find her blend particularly helpful. Through techniques like Cognitive Hypnotic Coaching, she guides you to shift limiting beliefs. Her commitment is to provide thoughtful, high-quality support for your personal growth.

Approach

I guide sessions between targeted, practical interventions and open, creative exploration, letting your needs set the pace and focus. Whether we meet in Pune or online, in English, Hindi/Urdu or Marathi, the room feels structured yet flexible—experiments, imagery and short reflective tasks often continue between sessions so insights deepen gradually. I track shifts with simple, collaborative check-ins and adapt tools to fit real-world moments. People navigating anxiety, addiction, relationship strain or burnout often find this rhythm steadying and actionable.
