I earned my MD from the American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine and completed my psychiatry residency at Larkin Community Hospital, where I served as Chief Resident during my third and fourth years.

I begin with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to better understand each patient's history, concerns, strengths, and goals. Together, we develop an individualized treatment plan that may include evidence-based medication management, supportive psychotherapy, psychoeducation, lifestyle interventions, and coordinated care when appropriate. Follow-up visits focus on monitoring progress, managing side effects, and adjusting treatment as needs evolve, helping patients achieve their best possible mental health and well-being.
