Psychologist

“An empathic and proficient therapist with experience with children and adults from all backgrounds, with an aim to make therapy accessible to all”

About Me

As an empathic and proficient psychologist, I aim to make therapy accessible for everyone. I work with children and adults from all backgrounds, creating a welcoming space for every voice. My goal is to ensure support is available to anyone seeking it. This inclusive approach helps clients feel comfortable exploring their concerns openly. We will tailor our sessions to your unique needs, fostering understanding and promoting growth together.

Approach

I shape therapy so it’s reachable and practical for your life, meeting you in my Mumbai office or online in English, Gujarati or Hindi/Urdu. Sessions move at a steady, conversational pace—brief check-ins, focused skill practice and space to reflect—so adolescents and adults coping with anxiety, grief, mood shifts or low self-esteem can experiment with small changes between meetings. I use collaborative goal-setting, gentle role-play for relationships and group options when peer support strengthens progress. People looking for clear, supportive steps tend to leave feeling more capable and understood.
