Summary
I am a passionate and dedicated RCI registered Clinical Psychologist (NET-qualified) with a strong background in psychological assessment, diagnosis, crisis intervention, and evidence-based therapies such as CBT and DBT. My training at Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, New Delhi, gave me the opportunity to work with diverse clinical populations and refine my ability to deliver compassionate, high-quality mental health care. I am recognised for my empathetic communication, trauma-informed interventions, and culturally sensitive approaches. I thrive in multidisciplinary teams, value collaborative problem-solving, and remain deeply committed to placing patient well-being and growth at the heart of every clinical decision I make.
