"Therapy is both a science and an art — and the art is asking the right questions."

Psychology has been my chosen subject since Grade 11. I remember my fifteen-year-old self in Mumbai reading psychology textbooks end to end — not for the exams, but because I was genuinely fascinated. Some of those case studies have stayed with me, and have even come in handy nearly twenty years later.

In my sessions, I collaborate with my clients to explore their concerns with curiosity rather than judgement. That process helps us cultivate objectivity — and over time, it often gives us access to a person’s own inherent wisdom. I believe therapy is both a science and an art: the science of understanding human behaviour, fused with the art of asking the right questions. My work is deeply influenced by Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Internal Family Systems.

Outside of therapy, I’m a parent to two young boys and a dog. When I’m not completely exhausted from parenting, I like watching TV, taking very long walks, and spending time with friends — usually without filtering what comes out of my mouth. If you’re looking for a therapist who is warm, curious, creative, balanced, and perhaps a little unconventional — come find me.
