I operate from a strong foundation of ethics and evidence-based interventions, whilst being sensitive to the client’s subjective experience.
About Me
My curiosity about the workings of the human mind, and a quest for discovering “why” we humans are the way we are, led me to the field of psychology. While I have embarked on my own journey of discovering the “why”, I have also had the privilege of being a co-passenger on the multiple journeys undertaken by my clients over the years. As they tread either calm or choppy waters, I believe my role as a therapist is to be a safe container for them to process emotions and experiences; a navigator of sorts, as I often help them connect with their inner guidance; and a supportive audience as I watch them weave a healthy and rich tapestry of their lives - a cumulation of their learnings and experiences.
I provide psychotherapeutic services to children, adolescents, and adults. I employ an integrated approach, drawing from Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Person-centred Therapy, Mindfulness, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy. I operate from a strong foundation of ethics and evidence-based interventions, whilst being sensitive to the client’s subjective experience.

My Experience
I have completed my undergraduate education in Applied Psychology from New York University, and a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Teachers College, Columbia University. I have worked at Mount Sinai Icahn School of Medicine Eating and Weight Disorders Clinic, and the pediatric unit of Montefiore Hospital, Bronx NY. Upon returning to India in 2016, I worked as a Case Coordinator and Psychologist at Mpower, Mumbai. Following that, I have been running my private practice since 2018.
Who would benefit most from my expertise?
My areas of specialisation are eating disorders and disordered eating patterns, body image concerns, anxiety, and adjustment concerns.
