After her successful completion of medical school in India, she moved to the United States to gather experience in the field of Psychiatry, which she is so passionate about. She also carries an in-depth research background from SUNY Upstate in New York, Duke University in Durham, and also served the Veterans Affairs hospital in Washington D.C. where her devotedness for trauma and PTSD stems from. Her journey continued to the University of Mississippi Medical Center, in Jackson, MS where she completed her Adult Psychiatry Residency. She was top of her residency program for the in-service examination called PRITE. She continued to travel and arrived in New Orleans, where she endured her love for the pediatric age group and dedicated 2 years to studying infant, child, and adolescent Psychiatry at LSU (Louisiana State University).

Treating an individual as a whole is her approach to mental health. A complete Bio-psycho-social and holistic approach is the model she follows with her patient care. She truly believes, “Your brain health is in your hands and a sound mind is a sound soul that has the capacity to create a sound body.”

My approach is centered on the belief that a strong therapeutic alliance is the foundation of successful treatment. I find deep professional fulfillment in meeting new patients and taking the time to build a genuine, lasting sense of trust.

I understand that seeking mental health support can be a vulnerable experience, which is why I prioritize creating a safe, welcoming environment where every individual feels heard and respected. By blending clinical expertise with a person-centered philosophy, I work collaboratively with my patients to develop tailored treatment plans that support long-term wellness and resilience.

When I am not in the office, I enjoy embracing the coastal lifestyle of North Carolina. You can often find me working in my garden or spending time on the water, activities that keep me grounded and energized to provide the best care possible for those I serve.
