I specialize in medication management for various psychiatric conditions, including mood, anxiety, and psychotic disorders. I employ a patient-centered approach that emphasizes empathy, open communication, and collaboration. In addition to pharmacological treatment, I incorporate psychoeducation and supportive therapy to help patients better understand and manage their conditions. When beneficial, I may recommend additional therapy and coordinate care with a therapist to ensure comprehensive treatment.

I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist. I earned my medical degree from St. George's University School of Medicine and completed my adult psychiatry residency at New York Medical College at Metropolitan Hospital Center. I have experience working with diverse patient populations and treating a range of psychiatric conditions.

During the first visit, patients can expect a thorough evaluation that explores their symptoms, treatment history, and personal goals. I take the time to listen and understand each patient's needs, ensuring that their treatment plan is tailored to their specific concerns. I provide a compassionate and structured approach to medication management while fostering a collaborative environment where patients feel supported in their mental health journey.

I try to take a person-centered approach to psychiatry. I spend time getting to know each person and take a collaborative approach to medication management while providing supportive therapy. I believe that the relationship is one of the most important aspects of treatment. I am open to working with most diagnoses including Mood Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, PTSD, ADHD, Personality Disorders, and others, and I will work with each person to develop a treatment plan that works for them.

I am a board-certified psychiatrist who has practiced in a wide range of settings, including both outpatient and inpatient, during the past 10 years. I studied medicine at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and completed my psychiatry residency training at Drexel University College of Medicine in Philadelphia. I went on to complete a Community Psychiatry Fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania and have continued to serve the greater Philadelphia area.

I am board-certified in adult psychiatry by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and focus my practice on medication management. I also engage in supportive therapy in a comprehensive way, focusing on the patient as a whole and not just the symptoms. I have a broad understanding of vitamin support as an adjunctive treatment to traditional medication, and I have broadened my understanding of second-line treatment, having been certified in Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT), conducting clinics in Clozapine and Long-Acting Antipsychotics (LOA), and conducting assessments for patients interested in weight loss surgery. My approach to treatment is comprehensive, and I may consider the addition of therapy, either by referral or by collaborating with an existing therapist, for a more rounded approach and improved outcome. My current areas of focus are adults with Mood Disorders, Anxiety, Co-Occurring Substance disorders, as well as patients with varied concomitant medical problems.

I received my medical degree from the Universidad Central del Caribe, located in Bayamon, Puerto Rico. Upon graduation, I relocated to Philadelphia, where I completed my residency program at Einstein Medical Center. After completing my training, I worked for 8 years in a community mental health clinic, treating an underserved population in all modalities of psychiatric care. Over my 12-year career, I have treated both adult males and females, including seniors, which has led to varied and wide-ranging diagnoses. After leaving the community clinic setting, I began working for an outpatient clinic in a suburb of Philadelphia.

I focus on compassionate, evidence-based care that integrates psychotherapy and psychotropic medications to promote recovery and growth. My collaborative and respectful style ensures patients feel heard while working toward meaningful goals. I emphasize setting clear expectations from the start to foster confidence and engagement. With my background in consultation-liaison psychiatry, I bring expertise in caring for individuals managing psychiatric conditions alongside significant medical illness.

The first appointment is a comprehensive evaluation, during which I carefully explore a patient's history, conditions, and symptoms. Based on this, I develop a personalized treatment plan and review it collaboratively, so expectations are clear. Future visits focus on monitoring progress, adjusting the plan as needed, and integrating both psychotherapy and medication management to best support the patient's needs and long-term growth.

I earned my medical degree from Ponce Health Sciences University, where I also served as Chief Resident in Psychiatry. I completed residency training at Ponce Health Sciences University and the U.S. Veterans Health Administration, Caribbean Healthcare System, followed by a Fellowship in Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry at Montefiore Medical Center, Albert Einstein College of Medicine. I am board-certified in both Psychiatry and Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry. I have served as Director of Psychiatry at the Roberto Clemente Center and Clinical Assistant Professor at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. I am bilingual in Spanish and bicultural, with published research in cultural psychiatry and stress biology, and have been recognized for teaching and leadership.

I am a board-certified psychiatrist dedicated to the bio-psycho-sociocultural model of care. This commitment is reflected in my work treating patients across a wide spectrum of medical and psychiatric conditions, differing levels of psychological mindedness, and diverse socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. My clinical experience encompasses treating attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessive compulsive disorder, anxiety and panic disorders, mood disorders, adjustment disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

My practice synthesizes active listening, supportive psychotherapy techniques, and evidence-based medication management with monitoring, delivered through 1-hour initial consultations and 30-minute follow-up appointments. I believe strongly in patient education and developing comprehensive treatment plans focused on relief, resilience and confident authenticity. Recognizing the value of comprehensive care, I actively encourage and coordinate with therapists when patients can benefit from additional time and frequency of visits. I check the State Prescription Drug Monitoring Program Database for all patients prescribed controlled medications prior to ordering or refilling controlled medications.

I earned my medical degree from the East Carolina Brody School of Medicine as a Brody Scholar and subsequently completed my psychiatry residency at Jackson Health System / University of Miami. Throughout my clinical training and practice across three distinct hospital systems, I have treated diverse populations, including but not limited to high-functioning professionals, active duty military and veterans, human trafficking survivors, and patients in grief and mourning. Ultimately, I seek to understand, appreciate, and facilitate for every patient through a patient, engaging and collaborative therapeutic alliance.

FAQs

How does Talkiatry work?

Talkiatry is an online psychiatry practice designed to make high-quality mental health care more accessible. We’re 100% virtual, in-network with major insurance plans, and first appointments are typically available in days.

To get started, you’ll complete a quick online assessment to tell us what you’re looking for. We’ll match you with psychiatrists who are licensed in your state, in-network with your insurance, and experienced in treating your concerns. You’ll choose the clinician you’d like to work with.

Your first visit is an in-depth evaluation where your psychiatrist will listen, provide a diagnosis, and work with you to create a treatment plan tailored to your goals and preferences. You’ll continue seeing the same clinician over time, adjusting your plan as your needs evolve. Our team is always here to help with scheduling, insurance, and questions about your care.

Do you provide therapy?

Care at Talkiatry starts with psychiatry. If you already have a Talkiatry psychiatrist, they can refer you to one of our therapists if you’ve decided together that therapy is the right next step. However, you can’t see a Talkiatry therapist if you aren’t already seeing one of our psychiatrists.

What should I do if I’m having an emergency?

Talkiatry does not provide emergency care. If you or someone you know is in crisis, please visit your nearest emergency room, call 911, or call or text the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988.

How much will my visit cost?

The majority of our visits cost patients $25 or less after insurance*, but your exact out-of-pocket cost depends on your plan. The best way to get a clear estimate is to contact your insurance provider directly. Here’s what to ask them:

  • Do I have mental health benefits that include outpatient psychiatry?
  • Is Talkiatry in-network for my plan?
  • What’s my copay or coinsurance for outpatient psychiatry visits?
  • Do I have a deductible? If so, how close am I to meeting it?
  • Do I have an out-of-pocket maximum? If so, how close am I to reaching it?
  • Are virtual or telehealth psychiatry visits covered the same as in-person care?
  • Is prior authorization required for outpatient psychiatry?
  • Can you provide a cost estimate for an in-network psychiatry visit using CPT code 99204?
  • Can you provide a cost estimate for an in-network psychotherapy visit using CPT code 90833?

*Includes all patient costs from 9/24-9/25: copayment, deductible, coinsurance, and $0 payments. Excludes missed appt. fees.  Your medical visit costs can vary depending on insurance coverage.

What if I don’t want to take medication?

Psychiatrists are medical doctors, and medication is often part of how they treat mental health conditions. At Talkiatry, your psychiatrist will start by listening and discussing your options with you. Medication is always your choice, but if it’s not something you’re open to considering, we may not be the best fit for ongoing care at this time.

How do I know if Talkiatry can help me?

Talkiatry provides virtual, in-network psychiatric care for people struggling with mild to moderate mental health issues. Here’s what we can help with:

  • Anxiety
  • ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder)
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Child & adolescent care
  • Depression
  • OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder)
  • Pregnancy & postpartum care
  • PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder)
  • Substance use disorder

Our goal is to connect you with the best possible care for you. At your first visit, your doctor will confirm whether Talkiatry is the right fit. If they recommend in-person or higher-level care, they’ll guide you to the appropriate resources.

What if my insurance changes from Blue Cross Blue Shield?

Insurance changes are common, and we’re here to help. Talkiatry is in-network with thousands of plans. If your insurance changes, reach out to a Care Coordinator to update your information and confirm your coverage by calling 833-351-TALK (8255).

Do I still take the assessment if I’m already diagnosed with PTSD?

Yes. Our online assessment is an important part of how we match you with the right psychiatrist. Your first visit will include a thorough evaluation so your psychiatrist can confirm your diagnosis and tailor your treatment plan to your current needs.
