ABOUT

I am a dedicated, thoughtful and client-centred, licensed Clinical Psychologist skilled at psychotherapy, counselling and comprehensive psychodiagnostic assessment. I have worked in multiple settings including hospitals, clinics and private practice, and have handled both OPD as well as IPD cases. I enjoy sharing the collaborative environment with my clients. In my private practice, I routinely take psychotherapeutic sessions of clients diagnosed with a variety of conditions including depression, bipolar affective disorder, anxiety, personality disorders, adult ADHD amongst others. I also lay importance on the psychoeducation of groups of caregivers to focus on their mental health as well.
