I am board certified psychiatrist with 25 years of experience . My approach to help you is specifically tailored for your needs. Interrelation between nature and nurture defines ones personality . Their interplay will affect each other and if not harmonious, will make us not having a sense of health , instead we feel emotional pain . Tears come to our eyes with emotions of joy, sadness, sense of pride . We react with our body to our emotions and vice versa ..as in old saying “ In healthy body , is healthy soul” and reverse I would say “having healthy soul , body becomes healthy”

My strong clinical skills, such as listening, communication, empathy, and building trust with my clients, are my assets to bridge the gap in accessing mental health services.

My clients may have different types of mental disorders and may be looking for help lessening their symptoms of it. The goal is to lessen the symptoms of their mental disorder enough so they can live happy, fulfilling, and enjoyable lives. Living with these mental problems are not easy on them and their family, so resolving them with a good plan is probably what they are looking for.

I believe listening - and being truly heard - is one of the most powerful therapeutic experiences. We are social beings, and if we have become isolated, or feel misunderstood, even ignored, we suffer deeply. I bring a high level of attentiveness to my work as a psychiatrist that provides the crucial foundation on which true growth and change can occur. I want to hear your story, to understand how your suffering, whatever its form, has come to be in the present day.
