About

Becoming a psychologist was the realization of a childhood dream, the passion to assist people to realize their true potential motivated me to choose a career that would allow me to actively engage with persons. I believe in bringing novelty, dynamism and energy to my work and during the 7 years as a psychotherapist as well as during internships, volunteering and on field experiences that led me to here, I frequently initiated several training, modules and workshops, which often went beyond my job role and successfully fulfilled those. Currently, I work primarily in designing, developing and managing digital products in the mental health space. These are based on a strong foundation of behavioral science principles, research in the field of neuroscience and understanding of user behavior. During my training and work as a Psychologist, I have engaged with a wide range of population from primary school children to geriatrics helping them achieve holistic well being. With an eclectic model of practice, I have brought in multi modal therapeutic approach to the students I worked with. I thrive in rapidly growing organizations that offer open work culture, I am enthusiastic about working on mental health needs of special populations, mental health advocacy, research into this area. I keep myself updated about the field by attending and participating in conferences, courses, seminars and workshops.
