I am a dedicated mental health professional with a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from the esteemed NIMHANS in Bangalore. My educational journey has instilled in me a robust foundation in psychological theories and practices, which I have applied in real-world settings over the past two years.

My initial foray into the field began with a startup company, where I provided psychological counseling and support to a diverse clientele facing various challenges. This role allowed me to develop my skills in empathy, active listening, and tailored intervention strategies, ensuring that my clients felt heard and understood. Working in a fast-paced environment, I learned the importance of adaptability and innovative thinking when addressing mental health issues.

I am part of Smotect in India, where I further specialize in Child and Adult Psychiatry. This position has expanded my expertise and deepened my understanding of the complexities of mental health across different age groups. Whether guiding children through developmental challenges or supporting adults coping with life’s pressures, I strive to create a safe and nurturing space for all my clients.
