My Story
Imagine waking up every morning feeling like you can take on the world. How great does that feel? In 2020, I opened the doors to my practice to patients in Ghaziabad and Delhi-NCR — offering them a wide range of counseling and psychological services to guide them through life’s challenges and most trying times. Life can get difficult, and sometimes a little help from a professional Psychologist can make things better. I care about your well-being and provide you all the tools you need in order to seize the day and learn how to tackle even the most traumatic circumstances.
