My practice is focused on supporting individuals & couples through life’s toughest moments—whether it's anxiety, depression, trauma, identity struggles, or relationship problems. I understand these struggles often run deep, rooted in early attachments, major life changes, or the pain of grief—whether it’s for a loved one, a relationship, or even a dream that never came to be. My passion is in standing alongside those who feel marginalised—whether by race, gender, sexuality, or chronic conditions like diabetes. I believe each person’s story is uniquely their own, and I tailor my approach to honour that individuality with compassion.
My approach is warm, nurturing & collaborative. I strive to understand how you see things like no one else. Grounded in Existential & Psychodynamic principles, my work resonates with those eager to explore themselves on a deeper level. I adapt my methods to fit your needs—whether it's CBT or ACT for anxiety, ERP for OCD, or Gottman & EFT for couples.
I work with people from all walks of life. Having grown up between two cultures (born in India, raised in Australia), I’m attuned to issues of identity, belonging & the feeling of being an outsider. It enriches my ability to connect with those struggling to find their place in the world. Beyond therapy, I’m passionate about counselling research & teaching.
