A Little Bit About Me
Family is the heart of my world. This includes my husband and two wonderful daughters, who are my constant source of joy and strength. Our dog, Benji, brings a lot of energy and affection into our home as well. I’ve always strived to maintain a balance between work and home, finding immense fulfillment in both roles. While I tend to be the “cautious” one, my husband keeps things interesting by encouraging me to step out of my comfort zone, especially when we travel—our adventures have taught me so much about embracing the unexpected.
Mindfulness has been transformative for me, both personally and professionally. It serves as an anchor in my life, helping me stay present and resilient no matter what comes my way. Physical exercise is crucial to my well-being, providing clarity and energy. Meaningful connections with friends and family enrich my life, whether through heartfelt conversations or shared experiences. Music is another passion of mine; I enjoy exploring different genres as long as it strikes a chord—it keeps things vibrant and enjoyable.
At the end of a long day, there’s nothing better than curling up with a good book. I enjoy reading anything I can get my hands on—sometimes diving into the material to enhance my knowledge for my clients, and other times, savoring a light read. It’s my quiet retreat, a way to recharge and reflect before facing the next day with renewed energy.
Welcome to My Practice
As your therapist, my focus is on helping you navigate your personal and mental health goals with sincerity, respect, and dedication. My approach is to create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions freely, knowing that each session is an opportunity to move closer to the life you want to live.
When we begin working together, you can count on my full commitment to your process. I’m here to support you every step of the way. However, it’s important to remember that therapy can sometimes feel challenging. After a session, it’s normal to feel emotionally drained or exhausted, but this is part of the healing process and a sign of growth.

To ensure that we both get the most out of our time, I encourage you to schedule your appointments well in advance. My assistant, Sonali Kale (+91 82916 77131), will assist you with booking.

If you’re running late, I’m happy to begin the session over the phone; however, please note that I’m unable to extend the session beyond the originally scheduled time. I will, of course, make up for any delay on my part.

Specialities
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy is a one-on-one process where clients work with a trained therapist in a safe, caring, and confidential setting.
Child Therapy
That’s a concise summary! If you need any more adjustments or additional information, just let me know.
Couples Therapy
Many couples believe therapy is a waste of time, effort, and money, but often a third perspective can be crucial for resolving relationship issues.
Family Therapy
Families can trigger intense emotions, and when one member is in pain, it affects the entire family. Each person is crucial to the family’s overall well-being.
Teen Therapy
The transition from child to teenager is challenging. You look and feel different, and there are new expectations for your behavior.
Group Therapy
As the name suggests, group therapy provides psychotherapy in a group setting as opposed to a one on one setting.
Depression Therapy
Major Depressive disorder, or clinical depression, is a common but serious mental illness that negatively impacts how we think, act, and feel.
Premarital Therapy
Premarital counseling is a type of couples' therapy that helps couples prepare for marriage, aiming to foster a healthier relationship before they get married.
Cognitive Behaviour
Therapy involves a collaborative process between client and therapist to address psychological issues, promoting healing and a healthier mind and body.
Anxiety
Anxiety is a normal response, and sometimes even beneficial in crises- it can help you pay attention and become aware of danger.
PTSD
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder often occurs after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, such as an accident, terrorist attack, sexual violence, or threats.
Online Sessions
In certain circumstances, such as during travel, sessions may be conducted online. This allows us to maintain consistency and connection, ensuring your therapeutic journey is not interrupted.
Psychometric Testing
At times, I may recommend psychometric testing alongside talk therapy. These assessments help provide deeper insights into your skills, personality traits, and potential diagnoses, which can be crucial in tailoring your treatment plan. Please note that these tests will incur additional charges.
Cancellation Policy
Missed appointments without prior notice affect the therapeutic process. To maintain fairness, sessions will be charged in full unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled time. This policy ensures that both our time and commitment to therapy are respected.
