SUMMARY

I am a highly skilled Specialty Registrar in Psychiatry with extensive expertise in various fields. As a dedicated Family Medicine Consultant and Community Health Consultant with more than 12 years of experience, I have successfully navigated the complexities of providing holistic healthcare.

My proficiency extends to handling Psychiatric Emergencies with precision. Besides, I bring a wealth of experience in Psychiatric Hospitalization, ensuring optimal care for individuals facing mental health challenges.

I hold a Master's in Psychopharmacology, adding a robust scientific foundation to my practical skills. Furthermore, I have substantial experience in treating treatment-resistant depression, with extensive expertise in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Esketamine administration.

In the realm of therapeutic techniques, I am well-versed, having been trained in Gestalt Therapy and Cognitive Behavior Therapy. My expertise extends to Recovery-Oriented Cognitive Therapy, tailored for individuals with severe mental illnesses. In addition, I am an Enneagram Specialist, combining psychological insights with a personalized approach.


As a Cognitive Behavior Therapist specializing in Substance Use Disorders, Obesity, and Eating Disorders, I am committed to fostering positive change. My proficiency in Motivational Interviewing underscores my dedication to patient empowerment. Additionally, I have undergone the Fischer Hoffman Process, enhancing my understanding of personal growth and transformation. Moreover, as a Group Therapist and Group Therapeutic Process Analyst, I leverage the power of group dynamics to expedite my patients' therapeutic progress. I take pride in my ability to adeptly lead groups, especially those comprising individuals facing severe mental illnesses. Through group therapy, I've witnessed accelerated advancement in the healing journey, fostering a supportive environment for those grappling with significant mental health challenges.

I have demonstrated my leadership capabilities by successfully managing a psychiatric hospital unit catering to individuals with chronic severe schizophrenia persistently exacerbated and refractory to treatment, prolonged admission for eating disorders, and highly complex personality disorders.

With a comprehensive skill set and a commitment to compassionate care, I am eager to contribute my expertise to any challenging healthcare environment.
