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.

Caricatures: Loving those unlike ourselves

Biblical Counseling Meditations
Caricatures are a bit like my first-time country fair experience - you see the oddities and make exaggerated conclusions on matters that you only get to see or know for a very short span of time. Caricatures are interesting when you first make them, but then, if you’ve never seen the real deal, you mistake it for the worst or funniest representation of reality.
