I am an Australian Indian therapist, mother of two wild teenage girls and a somatically oriented certified psychedelic-assisted therapist. I work with a client base that is multicultural and aged 13 and above. I work at Canberra Child Psychiatry on Tuesdays looking after adolescents and family therapy.

I offer trauma counselling for NDIS self-managed and plan-managed clients.

If you were my client, I would work with you with the attitude that you are the expert in YOU. I would work to help you to unlock the answers that you need. My job is to help you to understand the patterns of behaviours that are tripping you up in life. I come from a non judgmental position, showing empathy and warmth, enabling you to hear your own voice. Often trauma, or things that have been ones a survival reaction become a stumbling block, our own inner critical voice can keep us from trusting ourselves. My intention is to help you capture your needs and like a caterpillar learn how to fly like a butterfly.

Sometimes life is hard. We look around and think 'how did I become this person?' Or even have us questioning who we are. During these times it can be helpful to seek some clarity from someone without bias or judgment. As a trauma-informed counsellor, I am passionate about helping people face the challenges life brings & doing all I can to equip them to overcome whatever it is they may be going through. We are not meant to struggle through alone.

Are you going through some major transition in life and looking for compassionate care to navigate through? Do you feel lost and unclear about what you want from life? Are you finding your relationships strained or struggle to communicate effectively with your loved ones? Is your past trauma impacting your present life?

I have been working in mental health field for more than two decades, with a culturally competent approach, supporting clients from a diverse background. It would be an absolute honor for me to work with you.

To dispel all myths of the ideal client, every client is a welcome client. People arrive at their first session with a mix of emotions and it is here that I like to engage with the person to ensure we are a good fit and that they feel safe and ready to take the next steps. Engagement with my clients fosters commitment to the therapy process to ensure the best therapeutic outcome for them.

I specialise in relationships. This includes couples, parents and individuals who need help navigating the relationship they have with themselves, and those around them. I am culturally sensitive and have a deep understanding of the significance of culture and the impact it has on the individual.
