About me

I am a Rehabilitation Council of India licensed Clinical Psychologist. I completed my Ph.D. in Psychology from the Department of Liberal Arts at the Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad. My Ph.D. research interests bridged the areas of positive, social, personality, and clinical psychology, where I worked in the area of "Positive adaptation to Loss" through the unique lens of life stories. Before my Ph.D., I completed my M.Phil. in Clinical Psychology from the Central Institute of Psychiatry(CIP), Ranchi. At CIP, I handled inpatient and outpatient clients in various departments. After my M.Phil., I worked as a Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Clinical Psychology at NIMHANS (Bengaluru) for a project that aimed to study the efficacy of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder(OCD). In the past, I have also worked in hospitals such as Medanta, The Medicity in Gurgaon, and Guru Tegh Bahadur Hospital in Delhi. I completed my graduation and post-graduation in Psychology from Delhi University. I have been trained in various psychological testing approaches like psycho-diagnostics and therapies like Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Behavior Therapy, Individual and Couple Therapy, and various other therapies. I also have experience in dealing with issues such as Loss, Grief, Anxiety, Depression, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. My therapeutic techniques also incorporate my learnings from Positive Psychology. My experience has taught me that adaptation to adversities is rarely a straight line, it’s filled with moments of feeling better and awful. In my practice, I enhance my clients' strengths and work with their growth areas simultaneously. I help them to magnify their resilience and nudge them towards flourishing in life.
