Leading gently.

I’m Sarmishta and I’m honoured to meet you and invite you into my story. I’m a Certified Biblical Counselor with ACBC, a pastor’s wife and spiritual mentor to several women, a designer, and a passionate mother and teacher to my son who lives with spina bifida.

Counseling is now available online for anyone, anywhere around the world!

This space is dedicated to your spiritual well-being. If you are broken, lonely, terrified, hurting, or hopeless, know that you are not alone in your suffering. Scriptures teach that almost everything you go through is felt or experienced by others around you too, like tremors on the floor (1 Corinthians 10:13, 1 Peter 5:9). Help is near, and you only need ask. Talk to me and I can help you find a way through your struggles.

Learn about my Biblical counseling philosophy, ask me anything on the biblical counseling process, make an appointment for counseling, learn how to overcome common issues in your life or find recommended resources, all from the comfort of your home online.

Looking for a counseling appointment ? Let me take you there.

During his earthly life, Christ taught that giving more of your little is worth more than giving little of your most. The poor widow’s mite* was worth more than all the gold and silver that went clanging down into the treasury (Mark 12:42-43). “But”, you may wonder, “how can the widow’s mite pay anyone’s salary? How can it pay for the sick and the needy? Does God not want the rich to come into the church and give? Shouldn't our church pews be filled with the rich and the elite so as to feed the hungry and sponsor the poor and keep the church’s economic engine well oiled?”
