About Me

Born and raised in southern India, I have travelled extensively, worked internationally and call Tāmaki Makaurau home. 

As a counsellor, my practice is shaped by hands-on experience in working with sexual harm and family harm survivors, trauma-training, first-hand experience of the benefits of trauma-counselling and, knowledge of community support networks and resources.  I am currently invested in completing a masters degree in trauma responsive practice using a feminist and indigenous lens,  learning about anti pathologizing practice and a range of somatic interventions to help understand and process trauma.

As a woman of colour, I am able to work cross-culturally. I have a useful, growing understanding of race theory and privilege, migration, indigenous cultures, feminist theory, anti-discriminatory practice, social construction and human development - all of which underpin my practice. I predominantly work with women who belong to marginalized ethnicities. 

I am most passionate about creating internal safety, finding ways to navigate rupture and repair in relationships and being present in trauma-informed ways with my clients.
