🧠 Challenges I Help With

I work with families navigating:

  • Behavioral challenges in children

  • Parenting stress, burnout, and self-doubt

  • 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.

🤝 Parent Coaching (PCI Coaching Model™)

Parenting can be overwhelming—but you don’t have to figure it out alone.

As a PCI® Certified Parent Coach, I offer structured, collaborative coaching sessions that help you:

  • Reconnect with your strengths and values

  • Navigate daily parenting stress with more clarity and calm

  • Respond with emotional intelligence, even during tough moments

This isn’t about fixing your child. It’s about helping you feel confident and connected as a caregiver.

📚 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.
