I have been working as a psychiatrist at St. John's Medical College since 2015. I use medication and select psychotherapy techniques and emphasize a holistic and conservative approach. I teach undergraduate and postgraduate students and coordinate the Fellowship in Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry. My research focuses on issues at the interface of mental health and other medical conditions and psychiatry education.
