We are unique in our own way, and so are our challenges. It takes immense courage to confront these challenges and start a journey towards self-care and better quality of life. I like to view therapy as a collaborative effort for self-exploration and positive transformation. I provide you a nonjudgmental space where you can feel emotionally comfortable and safe. I support you by providing tools, right resources, and skills training to reach your ‘Best-Self’ in your quest to manage your life’s stressors better. My approach carries the essence of Humanistic theories and techniques which embodies empathetic understanding, congruence, unconditional positive regard towards the individual. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are few techniques that I lean towards to support you in this journey.
