Biography
I foster a warm, respectful, and professional space where patients feel seen and empowered. I value open communication and build collaborative relationships to align treatment with each person's values, goals, and lifestyle. My approach is integrative and flexible, grounded in evidence-based methods to support lasting, meaningful change. I begin with a thorough evaluation to understand each patient's history and goals, then create customized treatment plans that may include therapy, medication, or both. Drawing on CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Psychodynamic Therapy, I adapt care to meet evolving needs, aiming to relieve symptoms, foster resilience, and support long-term well-being.
I am board-certified in adult psychiatry and board-eligible in child and adolescent psychiatry. I completed my general psychiatry residency at Montefiore Medical Center and a child and adolescent fellowship at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. I bring extensive experience from outpatient, emergency, and telepsychiatry settings, and I have advanced training in CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Psychodynamic Therapy. Fluent in English and Spanish, I am committed to culturally sensitive, individualized care.
