Work
Aspire BHP
Attending Psychiatrist - Full-time
Dec 2024 - Present
I have just started this clinic and plan on providing holistic care for my patients.
As a psychiatrist, I have delivered personalized, evidence-based care to treat conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and bipolar disorder, achieving measurable improvements in symptoms and quality of life. I’ve implemented innovative approaches like telepsychiatry and mindfulness-based therapies to enhance accessibility and treatment outcomes. Additionally, I streamlined diagnostic processes with updated tools, enabling early and accurate diagnoses.
Collaboration has been central to my work, partnering with multidisciplinary teams to provide holistic care while mentoring residents and medical students to foster future professionals. Beyond clinical practice, I’ve led community initiatives to reduce mental health stigma and advocated for policy changes to expand access to care.View all
