Reaching out for help takes courage. The journey that you’re going to embark upon won’t be the easiest, but it will be deeply rewarding, and I am here to support you on every step of the way. I’m a clinical psychologist and am also certified in play therapy. I’ve spent extensive hours learning and working with individuals to understand the science of human psychology. I don't believe in a rigid, one-size-fits-all model, as every individual brings a unique set of experiences and goals to work upon in therapy. I take an eclectic approach in my work to create a safe and supportive environment. Additionally, I hold research publications in Springer Nature and the IOPScience journals.

FAQs
Why did you choose to become a therapist?
I’ve always been intrigued by the nature of the human mind and behaviour. I have aspired to help individuals navigate life by combining their skills and resources with professional guidance. The desire to create meaningful, lasting change in the lives of others led me to choose this field. The dynamic nature of therapy, with its constantly evolving techniques and approaches, drives me to improve and learn every day. I aspire to elevate the importance of mental health care to the same level as physical health care by providing compassionate, safe, and accessible mental health support for all.
