Work Experience

As a Clinical Psychologist with 8 years of experience, I possess a deep understanding of human behavior and mental health across the lifespan. My expertise spans assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of various psychological disorders, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. I have a strong background in working with children and adolescents, conducting comprehensive assessments to identify cognitive, emotional, and behavioral strengths and challenges.

My assessment experience includes administering and interpreting standardized tests, such as the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) and the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS), to evaluate cognitive abilities, including IQ and academic skills. I am also skilled in conducting diagnostic assessments for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and other neurodevelopmental disorders, using standardized tools such as the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) and the Conner’s Rating Scales.

In addition I possess specialized training and expertise in neuropsychology and Neuro rehabilitation. I can evaluate cognitive functions includes attention, memory, language and executive functions using standardized neuropsychological assessments. I have experience working with individuals with TBI, stroke and other neurological conditions, providing comprehensive neuropsychological assessments and developing personalized rehabilitation plans to promote cognitive and functional recovery

My therapeutic approaches include Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and psychodynamic therapy, tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. I have a proven track record of developing and implementing effective treatment plans, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams. My passion for delivering high-quality, patient-centered care has earned me a reputation as a compassionate and skilled Clinical Psychologist."
