Certifications- Basics in Narrative therapy
Approach- Systemic and eclectic, shaped by intersectional and trauma-informed perspectives, with an evolving decolonial and culturally responsive lens
“I’ve always believed that care begins with remembering agency, dignity, and connection. I’m drawn to collective practices that help us question the sources of our hurt and gently reimagine what healing can look like beyond dominant systems and labels, where judgement gradually softens into compassion. I hold space in English, Tamil, and Telugu for people to feel seen and exist without shame, while continuously learning how to listen more deeply and stay with what’s hard to name.“
