Area of specialization: | I work in Psychiatry, offering care that’s thoughtful, research-based, and shaped around each person I see. Over the years, I’ve handled a wide range of adult mental health concerns—from depression and anxiety to addiction and developmental issues. My style leans toward a whole-person approach, blending up-to-date clinical insights with plans that actually fit someone’s life.

Achievements: | N/A |
I did my MD in Psychiatry from NIMHANS, which is widely respected for its work in mental health. During my time there, I worked with a wide variety of adult psychiatric conditions, including substance use issues and neurodevelopmental disorders. The hands-on experience gave me strong insight into how mental health is shaped by a mix of biological changes, life circumstances, and emotional patterns—how they all overlap and affect each other in real life. In my work, I focus more on the person than just the label of a diagnosis. I do use methods supported by research, yes, but I also think what really matters is showing up fully—really hearing someone out, staying with their story, and figuring things out together to see what actually works for them. Mental health care, to me, should go beyond just calming symptoms—it should also help someone regain balance and clarity in their day-to-day life. I keep learning, always trying to stay up-to-date with new findings and better ways of treatment. That way, anyone who comes to me can expect care that’s both thoughtful and informed by the latest in psychiatry. What drives me is a mix of clinical commitment and a deep belief in spreading awareness around mental well-being. Helping people strengthen their emotional resilience and live fuller lives is what keeps me going.
