"I have no nationality. My country is my shoes." -Alejandro Jodorowsky

About Me:

I was born in India and spent many formative years in Germany. Having grown up between continents and cultures, my search has always been to integrate worlds - so the rifts within me, too, may be healed. This has taken me on a continual learning path which spans from neuroscience to art, eastern spirituality to western psychotherapy, ancient ritualistic tradition to modern clinical practice.

I believe that psychological health confers the ability to hold our contradictions and multitudes in harmony. I draw on the many resources within me to offer my clients a creative, lively approach to support their healing and thus, integrate the worlds within them.

Privately, I can typically be found roaming the forests of Brandenburg with my dog and a sketchbook.
