PTSD Psychiatrists in Florida

I believe psychiatry combines science and the art of medicine. I treat both adults and children/adolescents, with expertise in psychopharmacology, psychotherapy, addiction, geriatrics, and dual-diagnosis care. I am trained in TMS and ECT, am a Certified Suboxone Prescriber, and offer consultations and treatment through office-based or telemedicine visits. My approach is tailored to each patient's needs, integrating compassionate care with evidence-based treatment.

I acknowledge the many choices patients have in providers and strive to create a welcoming, collaborative, and supportive environment for everyone seeking care. Patients value my professionalism, patience, empathy, and attentive listening.

Before pursuing medicine, I explored a range of passions. After earning dual degrees in Biology and Biochemistry from the University of California, Riverside, I opened a popular Riverside eatery featured on The Food Channel. I later transitioned to the IT industry, earning a master's degree and certifications, before answering my true calling in medicine, graduating from Saint Matthews University School of Medicine.

I employ a collaborative and patient-centered approach, primarily focusing on medication management in combination with supportive therapy. I am a strong advocate of psychoeducation, believing it to be an integral part of effective psychiatric care. I specialize in treating adults experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, and insomnia, and I am also experienced in managing patients with psychiatric conditions complicated by medical comorbidities such as obesity, hypertension, chronic pain, and diabetes.

I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist. I obtained my bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences from the University of California at Irvine and graduated cum laude with my medical degree from the American University of Antigua. I completed my psychiatry residency training at the University of Central Florida, where I was elected chief resident.

Patients visiting me for the first time can anticipate a comprehensive evaluation conducted in a collaborative and supportive environment. I prioritize understanding each patient's individual needs and concerns, creating a personalized treatment plan that integrates medication, supportive therapy, and psychoeducation. Follow-up visits typically last about 30 minutes, allowing time to adjust treatment and reinforce therapeutic strategies.

I focus on medication management as the foundation of my treatment approach, typically combining it with supportive or emotionally focused therapy during 30-minute follow-up visits. I take a collaborative and individualized approach to patient care and, when needed, may recommend additional therapy by integrating a therapist into the care team to ensure the best possible outcomes. I have experience treating a broad range of psychiatric disorders in various clinical settings.

In a first visit, patients can expect a thorough and structured evaluation in which I carefully assess their symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals. I emphasize open communication and collaboration, ensuring that patients are fully involved in shaping their treatment plans. Follow-up visits typically last 30 minutes, during which I monitor progress, adjust treatment as needed, and may recommend additional therapeutic support for comprehensive care.

I am a board-certified psychiatrist. I earned my medical degree from the New York University School of Medicine and completed my residency in Adult Psychiatry at the Massachusetts General Hospital/McLean Adult Psychiatry Residency Program. I further specialized by completing a one-year clinical and research fellowship in Public and Community Psychiatry through Massachusetts General Hospital and the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health. In addition to my medical training, I hold a Master of Public Health (MPH) from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. I have over three years of experience practicing psychiatry across inpatient, emergency, and outpatient settings.

My philosophy of practice is to collaborate with patients to meet their specific needs and make an impact in various stages of their lives. I have more than 24 years of experience providing patients with compassionate psychiatric care for depressive and bipolar disorders, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and dementia. I use pharmacotherapy as well as supportive psychotherapy. I may believe that additional therapy is also needed and ask that you bring a therapist into your care team to provide the best outcome.

I am double board-certified in Adult and Geriatric Psychiatry. I completed my psychiatry internship and residency training at St. Vincent's Hospital and Medical Center in New York City, and then completed a geriatric psychiatry fellowship at Mount Sinai Beth Israel Medical Center.

I have taught St. George's University medical students during their clinical rotations in psychiatry.

What has motivated me over the course of my career as a caregiver? I am a native Houstonian who grew up in a working-class community. Through curiosity and hard work, I was able to attend a university that included people of vastly different life experiences. I was molded by both communities to appreciate the commonalities of humanity. That broad exposure extended my empathetic spectrum to grasp the needs of the American diaspora.

I use a biopsychosocial approach to evaluate the patient. I gather patient history with a mindset that considers the neuroscience that chemically shapes mood, thoughts, and behavior. I am able to uncover factors that can inhibit psychological growth and development. I have experience in seeing how the social conditions of the œthen can influence the resiliency of the œnow. I appreciate, and am proficient in, advances in technology, but prioritize the analog relationship between doctor and patient.

Meeting people where they are. It is an old trope, but describes how one allows a patient to set the path forward. An open-ended interview is conducted with an open mind towards resolution. When being evaluated and treated by me, a patient can expect to be met in a cordial but professional manner. Treatments are discussed and considered based on the mental state of the patient and the clinical efficacy and scientific evidence of benefit. The patient is invited to ask questions and consider whether they wish to pursue the suggested treatment plan.

I specialize in treating mood disorders, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, OCD, and patients with co-occurring psychiatric and medical conditions. I am dedicated to outpatient care, focusing on long-term relationships with my patients. My treatment approach is comprehensive, integrating medication management with psychotherapy, including psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), play therapy, dyadic therapy, and family therapy. I emphasize creating an empathetic, judgment-free space where patients and families feel supported and understood. If I believe additional therapy is necessary, I may recommend adding a therapist to the care team.

I work with my patients to determine the best medication and treatment strategies based on the biological processes underlying psychological illness, trying to promote long-term recovery, not just symptom relief. Treatment pursues the promotion of behavioral changes that contribute to better physical and mental wellbeing.

I have been working in telehealth since 2018. After completing my training, I worked in private practice and in various roles for the Department of Veterans Affairs. I most enjoy working in the clinic because of the long-term follow-up.

I enjoy my work and include psychotherapy in my appointments. I offer medication options to treat symptoms but also work with patients to examine behaviors and defenses that may be contributing to their problems. For patients who would benefit from more extensive psychotherapy, I may refer them to a therapist and work collaboratively with that therapist. I start off with a thorough evaluation to make a diagnosis, then work with patients to determine their treatment goals and develop a treatment plan to meet those goals.
