I am a member of various professional organizations such as American Psychiatric association, American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry. In addition to my training in adult and child & adolescent psychiatry, Psychodermatology is my area of interest and research.

Along with medication management I also utilize other modalities of treatment such as cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, supportive psychotherapy and habit reversal therapy.
