Everyone has three different types of life; the first one is public life, the second is private life and the third is the SECRET life. Public life means the life everyone knows you as a person and the private life is the life your near and dear once knows but the secret life is the life no one knows about but YOU. In secret life, many of us have confusions, thoughts, feelings and desires that we have no place to express. Will you share those feelings with anyone? You have one who can study your life, understand your feelings, and emotions and guide you the right way is the beautiful stranger called a "Therapist".
It takes great change to find your wings.
I use client-centred therapy. I believe that Human beings are inherently motivated towards achieving positive psychological functioning. We welcome all unique personalities!

I often use Client-centred Therapy and CBT in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
