I am a licensed therapist with a Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Baroda. I have extensive experience working with individuals facing challenges with depression and anxiety, helping them find purpose and achieve their life goals. My communication style is warm, empathetic, and focused on motivational interviewing and mindfulness-based techniques. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can openly express themselves.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
