About

I’m a Psychotherapist working with adults and adolescents, blending my passion for mental health with a knack for bringing a lighthearted touch to serious conversations. My early fascination with psychology grew into a career focused on helping individuals thrive through evidence-based therapies like CBT, SFBT, ACT and DBT. Beyond the therapy room, I co-host a segment on Radio Mirchi, where we tackle mental health stigmas with candid conversations. As an Army kid, I love connecting with people, sharing stories, and spreading unfunny puns—because even tough topics can use a little laughter!
