I’m a trauma-trained psychotherapist and clinical supervisor with more than 14 years of experience supporting individuals through trauma, emotional healing, and life transitions. My approach integrates somatic therapy, Compassionate Inquiry (developed by Dr. Gabor Maté), narrative therapy, inner child healing, and body-based practices that help clients heal at both a somatic and psychological level.
I hold a Master’s Degree in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness from New York University and I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and Certified Compassionate Inquiry Practitioner. I’m trained in suicide prevention and crisis support, and currently pursuing advanced training in Somatic psychology, psychodynamic therapy, focusing practices developed by eugene gendlin and TIST (Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment),
Approaches that support deep trauma recovery, nervous-system healing, and long-term integration.
I work with a wide range of concerns including:
- Complex PTSD + developmental trauma
- Anxiety and depression
- Grief and loss
- Eating disorders
- Infertility and reproductive trauma
- Gender and sexuality
- Life transitions
- Relationship difficulties
- Narcissistic abuse and emotional neglect
- Attachment trauma and inner child wounds
I am also a queer-affirmative trauma therapist with specialty training in suicide prevention, crisis intervention.
My work has been featured in 50+ international media platforms, including the BBC, HuffPost, Harper’s Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, and The Hindu. I have written for publications such as The Times of India and Life Positive, and have spoken on platforms including BRUT and Josh Talks.
I was honored with an award by SRL Laboratories for contributions to mental health awareness, and recognized as a “40 under 40” achiever by the Indian Achievers Club for leadership and impact in mental health.
My work is rooted not only in academic knowledge and advanced trauma training, but also in lived experience. Having personally navigated C-PTSD, eating disorders, and suicidal ideation, I bring deep empathy, emotional presence, and trauma-informed skill to the therapeutic space.
My goal is to create a safe therapeutic relationship that supports nervous system healing, emotional regulation, self-understanding, and long-term transformation—not just coping.
