Counseling Psychologist

“Trauma-informed and queer-affirmative. Affordable charges. Online Sessions. The therapy space is warm and collaborative. I use empathy & an eclectic, evidence-based approach. I work with adults primarily for concerns related to self-image, emotion regulation, and relationships.”

About Me

The therapy space is warm and collaborative, designed for adults exploring self-image, emotion regulation, or relationships. I offer trauma-informed and queer-affirmative support, ensuring all parts of you are welcome. We'll use an eclectic, evidence-based approach to gently understand your experiences. This empathetic, tailored approach helps you navigate your inner world in a safe online space.

Approach

Rather than following a rigid plan, I work with you to notice patterns, tune into emotions, and gently test new ways of relating in session. Sessions are held online from my Mumbai practice in English, paced to fit your rhythm and often blend reflective conversation with practical skills. We focus on small experiments between meetings, gentle tracking of triggers, and using trauma-aware tools to shift self-view, calm strong feelings, and repair close bonds. People who want compassionate, structured support through life shifts often find this approach helpful.
