My work combines trauma-informed play therapy with strengths-based parent coaching to create a nurturing space where both children and caregivers feel heard, supported, and empowered.
🧠 Challenges I Help With
I work with families navigating:

Emotional challenges due to learning differences
Life changes such as divorce, relocation, or becoming a new parent

🧸 Play Therapy for Children (Ages 3–17)
Children express their inner world through play—this is their natural language. I use tools such as sand trays, art, movement, and metaphor to help them explore and express emotions that may be hard to verbalize.
As a Certified Synergetic Play Therapist, I support children through:
Anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and regulation challenges
Aggression, trauma, grief, and big emotions
Transitions like divorce, school changes, or loss
These sessions are developmentally appropriate and focused on helping children develop emotional resilience and coping skills.
📌 Available in Bengaluru and online.

📚 How I Work
I’m committed to ongoing learning and self-awareness so I can offer the highest level of care to every family I support.
I’m also committed to providing a safe, affirming space for all families. My practice is LGBTQIA+ positive, neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive. I respect each client’s lived experience and aim to create a space where each one feels seen, heard, and valued.
Regular clinical supervision with a registered play therapy supervisor
Weekly personal therapy to stay emotionally grounded
Ongoing professional development, including conferences and training
I believe that meaningful growth happens in a safe, attuned relationship—and I aim to create that space for every family.
💛 What I Believe
🧠 Children don’t need to be “fixed”—they need to be felt.
👣 Parents don’t need to be perfect—they need to feel supported.
🎨 Play is a child’s language. Connection is the medicine.
💛 We heal in safe relationship. Always.
