Doctor information
Experience:
20 years
Education:
State Medical University
Academic degree:
MD (Doctor of Medicine)
Area of specialization:
I am trained in psychiatry from Royal College of Psychiatrists, London—which yeah, was rigorous but honestly shaped how i look at mental health now. I specialize in advanced management of mental disorders… depression, anxiety, PTSD, psychosis, substance use and stuff ppl are usually scared to even talk about. That’s where I start—by listening, not rushing to label. My approach? It's more like okay, let’s really understand what’s going on before we talk treatment. I try to bring the best of global standards to the table but also keep things personal—not every therapy or protocol works for everyone, right? Some patients need structure, others just need to feel safe enough to open up without worrying what I’ll think. I spend time there. I work on balancing evidence-based therapy with real-world needs... sometimes it's CBT, sometimes meds, sometimes just time. Anyway I’ve learnt that healing isn’t linear. People go back & forth—get better, fall down again, and thats ok. I don’t force a pace. What I do push for is consistency, and maybe even a little hope (even when it feels far). Honestly, mental health’s not just about diagnosis or meds—it’s abt building something steady, inside-out. That’s what I do.
Achievements:
I am a Professional Life Member of Mental Health Action by People (MAP), an organization committed to advancing mental healthcare, registered under ISO 9001:2015 (Reg. No. TVM/TC/289/2014). This affiliation reflects my dedication to ethical practice, evidence-based care, and community-centered approaches in mental health.

I am a mental health practitioner who’s kinda spent years figuring out how ppl cope when life gets too loud or too dark or just plain confusing. I mostly deal with stuff like depression, PTSD, psychotic disorders and also things like trauma from domestic violence or long-term drug abuse... which honestly aren’t talked abt enough. I’ve worked with folks who carry deep pain—some can’t even explain where it comes from—and my role really is to help them feel grounded again, like hey maybe there is a way forward, even if it doesn’t look like the movies. My focus isn’t only on acute psychiatric care. I also work with patients who're dealing with chronic conditions like diabetes, HTN or other long-haul illnesses where the emotional burden is almost invisible but very real. I bring in behavioral therapy and motivational counseling to help them not just manage their health but live with it without feeling broken all the time. I like to tailor things—therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, right? Sometimes it’s more talk therapy. Other times it's structured psychotherapies. I do a blend. Counseling, check-ins, lifestyle mapping… depends on what someone needs. I always try to create a space where ppl can say the things they’re scared to say out loud, without worrying about being judged or diagnosed too quickly. You know? And yeah, the stigma around mental health still annoys me, not gonna lie. Part of my mission has always been to make sure people don’t feel alone with their diagnosis, or worse, ashamed of it. Whether it’s a young adult dealing with panic, or someone recovering from years of abuse, I want them to walk away from my clinic believing healing’s not just a word. It’s a messy, honest, ongoing thing—and it’s possible. I’m always learning too—keeping up with evidence-based methods and trying to stay grounded in reality rather than chasing fancy terms. The goal’s pretty simple really: listen well, respond with care, and help ppl feel safe enough to rebuild. One step, one session, one tiny win at a time.
