PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

I have over seven years of clinical experience in adult, child, and adolescent psychiatry, psychosexual medicine, and mental health education. I completed a Fellowship in Psychosexual Medicine at JSS, Mysuru, and received advanced training in Child Psychiatry and Addiction Psychiatry at NIMHANS, Bangalore. I am proficient in evidence-based psychotherapy modalities, including CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and supportive therapy, integrating pharmacological and psychosocial approaches to deliver holistic, patient-centered care. My expertise spans mood, anxiety, psychotic, substance use, and psychosexual disorders, with a strong focus on culturally sensitive, ethical, and compassionate mental health support. In addition to clinical practice, I have contributed to community mental health initiatives through training of primary health professionals and have shared my work in peer-reviewed journals and national conferences.
