BA, MA
2 years of experience
I offer mental health care for individuals aged 8–25.
I am a dedicated psychologist with over 2 years of professional experience. I hold a Master’s degree in Applied Psychology from TISS Mumbai. I specialize in a person-centered, trauma-informed, and neuro-affirmative approach, drawing heavily from the works of Carl Jung and Carl Rogers. I believe in the importance of using a lens of social justice and gender-affirming care, ensuring that all clients feel seen, heard, and respected. I nurture a supportive environment that fosters healing and self-discovery with a commitment to unconditional positive regard. As Carl Jung once said, “I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become,” a belief that guides my practice and inspires my clients to embrace their growth potential.
