Meet Our Founder

My mission at The Wellness Mind is to help people ‘Embrace Life and Live Better’. I understand that life happens, and we all need support to regain our mental and emotional wellbeing. I am a solution-focused therapist with a person-centered approach that enables me to help my clients to regain their emotional and psychological wellbeing in a safe and a supportive environment. I integrate complementary methodologies and techniques to offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client.

 I have a strong multi-cultural outlook and cultural sensitivity, having worked with diverse populations in Asia, Europe, and USA. This  allows me to connect with people from diverse backgrounds. I have extensive experience in working with diverse vulnerable populations, which is why I am so passionate about mental health.

 I specialize in treatment of Anxiety, Depression, Trauma , PTSD, Burnout and Co-occurring Disorders. I employ a wide variety of treatment modalities like Trauma Focused CBT, Dialectical  Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). My approach is Solution-Focused and Person-Centered, helping clients regain their emotional and psychological wellbeing in a safe and a supportive environment.
