Story of Chalk & Cheese
We met as students 17 years ago. Strangely the thing that first connected us was food and of course then came psychology. Our discussions back then were filled with naivety and passion(something we look back at with a lot of fondness). When we re-connected after the pandemic, after we somewhat matured, we found that we had a lot of complementary skills that can be used to create something unique and nice. The hope is to create a well-structured , safe mental health space that caters to a wide range of people.

I believe that everyone deserves a space to express themselves freely, and hence, I aim to create a space where people feel safe, supported, heard, and validated.To me, therapy is a partnership. I work collaboratively with individuals to gain various perspectives that help them navigate life's challenges. Whether they are dealing with anxiety, managing stress, or working through family and relationship problems.My goal is to ensure that, as we work together, we provide you with a space to explore your thoughts and emotions in a setting that is entirely your own.
