​
I help individuals find clarity, heal, and create a more fulfilling life. Taking the first step toward change can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. I am here to support and empower you throughout your journey.
Using a person-centered approach, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to express yourself freely. Together, we’ll explore your thoughts and emotions, helping you gain insight, build resilience, and move forward with confidence.
I work with individuals, families, and children facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting struggles, stress, and low self-esteem. I also offer counselling in Tamil, for those who feel more comfortable expressing themselves in their native language.
I understand that every person’s journey is unique, and so I tailor my approach to meet your individual needs, using a blend of cognitive-behavioral, supportive, and solution-focused techniques. My ultimate goal is to help you feel heard, valued, and empowered to create meaningful change in your life.
You deserve the support you need, and I am here to help guide you toward healing, growth, and a brighter future.
Therapeutic Approaches
A range of evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique needs, including Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Mindfulness techniques, thoughtfulness practices, and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) are also incorporated to support growth, resilience, and well-being. This flexible approach ensures the right support to navigate life’s challenges with confidence.
