I have over seven years of experience working in the mental health space as a Counseling Psychologist and I'm based in Mumbai. I hold a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology and have acquired an advanced diploma in Counseling Psychology.

I believe in serving my knowledge for the purpose of understanding and preventing psychological distress and to promote mental well-being and spreading awareness of mental health. I utilize the best of my therapeutic and practical knowledge while dealing with the various individuals. In the therapy, I aim towards bringing out the best in every individual and helping them to acknowledge their own strengths & weaknesses that helps them to make their lives better and to live as a fully functioning person.

I have always been fascinated by the human mind and emotions and have worked with various individuals of all ages, professionals, at various setups like schools and organizations. I know from my years of experience working with individuals that every individual has the ability to make big changes in their life and the process of therapy can allow a particular individual to grow more quickly than before.
