About Me

I support individuals navigating complex mental health challenges, with a particular focus on perinatal mental health. My five years of experience, refined in major centres, allows me to provide comprehensive care. I carefully manage conditions like anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and PTSD. We will work collaboratively to explore your unique needs and find effective strategies for stability. This approach is especially valuable for those experiencing mental health challenges during the sensitive perinatal period.

Approach

Training at top academic hospitals shaped how I structure care, grounding it in practical steps and close monitoring. I offer in-person appointments in Hyderabad and remote consultations in English, Gujarati or Hindi/Urdu, keeping sessions focused, time-efficient and responsive to changing needs. Sessions blend medication review, symptom tracking, brief structured therapy exercises and collaborative safety planning, with specific attention to pregnancy and the postpartum period. This approach tends to help parents, adolescents and adults who want clear, measurable steps toward steadier days.
