Great to meet you!

I am a Yale-trained, double board-certified psychiatrist with expertise in treating a broad range of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, OCD, psychotic disorders, trauma-related conditions, and substance use disorders.

I received my medical degree from Gauhati Medical College and subsequently completed my residency at Rush University and fellowship at Yale University.

At the heart of my practice is an unwavering belief in the power of evidence-based medicine. I am deeply committed to staying at the forefront of the latest research and breakthroughs, using this knowledge to guide my treatment decisions. By uniting the most current evidence with a personalized approach, I aim to help you achieve tangible and sustainable improvements in your psychological well-being.

My approach to therapy

I believe good care starts with understanding. I take time to understand your unique circumstances and also explain the "why" behind every diagnosis and treatment recommendation so you are an active participant in your own care, not just following instructions. My style is collaborative and straightforward: I ask questions, listen closely, and adjust my approach based on what actually fits your life and goals. I lean on evidence-based medicine, but I pair it with a personalized lens, since no two people respond to treatment the same way.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is mostly about getting to know each other. I will ask about your history, current concerns, and what's brought you in, and you are welcome to ask me anything too. My goal by the end is for us to have a shared understanding of what's going on and a rough plan for next steps, whether that is lifestyle modification, medication, further evaluation, psychotherapy, or neuromodualtion.
