Trust is built in small moments, so before we dig into your story, here's a little of mine.

I'm a Psychologist and Couple Therapist, and honestly, I got here almost by accident. I've always been the person people talk to, the one who notices the thing nobody said out loud. Psychology just gave that instinct a name and a method.

I grew up in a loud, loving family: a mum who runs the house like a Chief Operations Officer, a dad who's the chief advisor, an older brother who hands out advice you didn't ask for, and a younger one who'll roast you before you finish your sentence. They taught me strength, resilience, and that the people around you are the whole point. I'm in Bangalore now, I miss them daily, and I bring all of that to this work.

Because other people's stories are where I learn the most about life. Every person I sit with teaches me something, and matchmaking is that at its best: you get to understand someone deeply, and then use that understanding to change their life.

I also think the search for love has gotten far too serious for its own good. I'd rather we laugh, overthink together (I made peace with my overthinking as a teenager), and get to the truth faster because neither of us is pretending.
