For child and adolescent patients, I encourage parental involvement at each visit to ensure a family-centered approach is being followed to best support the child's needs.

I earned my medical degree from the University of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences Campus, completed my Adult Psychiatry residency at the University of Connecticut, and sub-specialized in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at New York University. Prior to joining Talkiatry, I served as a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist at a busy academic outpatient clinic and on an inpatient basis, providing care to children with complex medical needs.

During the first visit, I conduct a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation with a goal of understanding a patient's treatment history, current symptomatology, and personal goals.
