An unsatisfying career and broken marriage left me underconfident, lost, and hopeless. Suicidal ideation and a bout of clinical depression led me to seek professional care, which was the best decision I made. I came to understand that nothing is more important than my own physical and mental well-being. Yoga and spirituality have also helped a lot along the way.

At 28 years of age, when my peers were settling down in their lives, I took career counselling. I explored several options to see what I would be really happy doing, and settled on Public Health, with mental health and health systems as my area of interest. I enjoy what I do now and aspire to contribute to health systems and make care accessible and affordable to the underprivileged.

I learned the hard way that there’s always hope, even when it seems like a dead end, and talking can sometimes help you kindle that thread of hope and bring in some clarity.

So, let’s connect and just talk. No judgments, no advice, no lectures.
