“Using mindfulness tools to treat emotional disorders and relationship issues”

About Me

When emotional challenges feel overwhelming or relationships become strained, I offer integrative psychotherapy. We can work together to explore how mindfulness tools bring clarity and calm. This approach suits those seeking practical ways to navigate difficult feelings and foster healthier connections. My aim is to create a supportive space where you can gain insight and build lasting well-being.

Approach

Mindful attention shapes how sessions unfold, helping us notice triggers, bodily messages and interactional patterns that keep difficulties active. I work from Mumbai and offer therapy in English, Hindi/Urdu and Marathi, with online appointments for flexible access. Sessions mix brief guided practices, focused reflection and practical experiments you can try between meetings, paced to your readiness and goals. People facing burnout, mood shifts, relationship tension or addictive urges often find this steady, practical rhythm helpful.
