About My Practice
Experienced care with a public health lens.
I am a psychiatrist with 16 years of experience across hospital and health care settings. My clinical background includes crisis intervention, clinical supervision, prevention, dual diagnosis, and geriatric psychiatry.
My care is tailored to adults and adolescents, including high-functioning individuals navigating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, life transitions, trauma, stress, and burnout. I offer psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive psychotherapy, with attention to each patient's goals, context, and day-to-day life.
I provide telepsychiatry in Virginia and Pennsylvania, with care available in English, Urdu, and Punjabi to help make treatment more accessible and flexible for patients from diverse backgrounds.
