About me:
Hello! I am a trauma-informed psychotherapist, an applied behavior therapist, a mental health speaker, and a writer.
I’ve been immersed in the world of psychology and psychotherapy for over a decade now. What began as a curiosity about human behavior gradually evolved into a deep passion for understanding what helps us thrive, and creating healing spaces for others to do the same.
Growing up as a highly sensitive person, I was always attuned to the emotional undercurrents around me. Over time, I came to see how deeply our early experiences shape us, how we all carry emotional wounds in unique ways, and how those wounds can quietly shape our relationships, choices, and self-worth. Doing my own inner work over the years has shown me just how liberating it is to unwind these layers and reclaim our wholeness.
I have been able to experience and realise the importance of being understood, and the significance of a safe, emotional space in order to develop as a healthy, authentic adult, and I feel inspired to help others experience the same. This has been a major factor influencing my choice to study and train to be a therapist.
Furthermore, my interest in psychology and psychotherapy also stems from my curiosity about the human experience, my thirst for meaning, and an inherent drive to have a deeper purpose in life. In my eyes, facilitating a healing space for others is sacred and I absolutely love being a witness to change and growth. I love learning and I am fascinated by this field for its ever-increasing scope for learning and growing both as a therapist, and a human. This, in a nutshell, is how being a psychotherapist allows me to fulfill many of my personal and existential needs.
I am an advocate for psycho-spiritual tools such as mindfulness and practicing gratitude for living a healthy, content life. Meditation and therapy has played a major role in my journey of healing and finding balance. In my downtime, I like watching feel-good tv shows and movies, indulging in expressive writing, and spending time with my loved ones. I also like reading, specifically, spirituality and philosophy. Eckhart Tolle and Dr. David R Hawkins are two of my favorite authors. I have always been very introverted and tend to go inward to re-energize myself. Indie music, spending time in nature, meditating, and being around my loved ones are my anchors.
I have immense love for words and quotes, and this is one of my favourite's:
"Let me fall if I must, the one I will become will catch me."
- Bal Shem Tov
Therapeutic Approach
I believe that healing goes beyond just managing symptoms. t’s about understanding you as a whole person. My work is grounded in a holistic approach that explores your emotional, physical, relational, and spiritual well-being. I see my clients not just through the lens of their symptoms, but as individuals with a unique story, inner wisdom, and the capacity to grow and heal.
I take a trauma-informed and integrative approach, which means I tailor our work based on your needs, drawing from different psychological perspectives that honour both your inner world and lived experiences. Some of the influences in my work include:
• Exploring your inner parts and patterns (Internal Family Systems)
• Mindfulness and self-awareness tools
• Understanding how early relationships have shaped you (attachment and relational work)
• Emotional regulation and grounding tools (inspired by DBT & ACT)
• Strengths-based approaches ( positive psychology)
• Body-based and energy-informed practices that support deeper healing
At the heart of my work is a strong belief in the power of self-awareness, compassion, creativity, and choice. I aim to create a safe, emotionally rich space where you feel supported and understood. My style is warm, collaborative, and gently active. I'll walk alongside you, offer insights and tools, and invite feedback so that our work together feels meaningful and effective.
Healing can be complex, but it doesn’t have to be cold or clinical.
