With over three decades of experience in the field of psychiatry and a total of 40 years in the broader medical field, I bring a deep well of knowledge, clinical expertise, and a patient-centered approach to every aspect of care. Throughout my career, I have remained committed to improving the mental health and overall well-being of individuals across diverse populations.

Specialized treatment areas: ADHD, Alcohol Use, Anger Management, Anxiety, Behavioral Issues, Bipolar Disorder Bisexual,Borderline Personality (BPD), Career Counseling, Chronic Impulsivity, Clients who speaks Hindi and Malayalam, Depression, Emotional Disturbance, Geriatric, Impulse Control Disorders, LGBTQ+, Medication Management, Mood Disorders, Psychiatric diagnosis with HIV, Psychosis, Self Esteem, Sleep or Insomnia, Spirituality, Stress, Suicidal Ideation, Thinking Disorders, Transgender, and Trauma and PTSD

My approach to therapy is integrative and client-centered, drawing from a variety of evidence-based modalities to meet each individual’s unique needs. While my main focus is medication management and brief therapy, I also incorporate the following therapeutic approaches as appropriate:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): I help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns to improve emotional regulation and behavior.
• Eclectic Therapy: I draw from multiple therapeutic approaches to create a tailored treatment plan that best supports each client’s goals and preferences.
• Emotionally Focused Therapy: I work with clients to explore emotional responses and improve attachment and relational dynamics, particularly in couples and family settings.
• Humanistic Therapy: I emphasize empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard to help clients achieve personal growth and self-acceptance.
• Motivational Interviewing: I use a collaborative, goal-oriented style of communication to strengthen a client’s motivation for change.
• Reality Therapy: I assist clients in focusing on the present and making effective choices to meet their basic needs.
• Trauma-Focused Therapy: I address the impact of past trauma through a sensitive and structured approach, supporting healing and resilience.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy/Trauma focused and supportive in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts.
