About me

I am a practicing clinical psychologist, 20 years of clinical experience working with people from all walks of life. I have a vast experience in, clinical and community interventions, assessment, diagnostic process, guidance and counseling, psychometric testing etc. Being a therapist is more than a job to me. I have a passion for helping people transform and grow into their full potential. It takes a lot of courage to reach out and open up to another person about your troubles. I have never forgotten how nervous I was learning to trust a therapist. I am sensitive to how difficult this might be for you and will be patient as trust builds between us. The path to healing and growth is very intimate and it would a privilege to be a part of your journey. I love helping clients find their personal strength. I have a passion for working with children, adolescence and families. I want you to know that I hold all information given with respect and privacy. I treat each client with the empathy and compassion that I would expect from others. I look forward to guiding anyone who is seeking to change their circumstances and move forward in life. As a therapist in private practice, I specialize in helping couples improve their relationships, individuals recover from depression, anxiety, postpartum depression/anxiety, loss and grief, divorce and separation, low self worth, social anxiety and many other painful transitions of living. My work with people has been by far my greatest teacher and continues to shape the work I do today. As a therapist youths with different sorts of concerns/ issues come to me. This is such an age where a person has entered the world of severe competition where people have started accepting him or her as independent individual having very tender and inexperienced inner self. Here they face some common struggles such as work related issues, relationships, anxiety, depression, stress management, divorce/separation, loss/ grief, women’s issues, mood swings, transition in different roles, family problems etc. Individual youth counselling is a powerful experience of self discovery, which can lead them to many of the answers to their concerns and hang ups in life. I work in the here and now, but also explore past experiences as they relate to present day issues.
