What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can apply my clinical skills to support mental health initiatives and patient care.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with extensive experience in behavioral medicine, currently working at the Karu General Hospital. My role involves conducting psychological assessments, individual and group therapies, and implementing mental health programs. I am committed to helping patients navigate their mental health challenges through tailored treatment plans and therapeutic interventions.

Throughout my career, I have developed a strong foundation in psychological testing and diagnosis, utilizing various assessment tools to understand and address the needs of my patients. My internship at the Neuropsychiatric Hospital allowed me to refine my skills in cognitive assessments and behavioral modification programs, further enhancing my ability to support individuals across diverse age groups.

I am passionate about fostering a supportive environment for mental health and have actively participated in psycho-education programs and community outreach initiatives. My goal is to continue making a positive impact in the field of psychology by applying my knowledge and skills to help individuals achieve their psychological goals.
