I am board-certified in psychiatry and am committed to providing thoughtful, evidence-based care.

I begin by taking time to thoroughly understand each patient's history, concerns, and goals during the initial visit. From there, I work collaboratively with patients to develop an individualized treatment plan that aligns with their needs and supports long-term progress.

I believe mental health care is most effective when patients feel comfortable, supported, and truly heard. I take a calm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental approach, meeting patients where they are. My care focuses on practical, real-life treatment plans while considering sleep, stress, medical factors, and lifestyle influences. I value collaboration and aim for patients to feel informed, involved, safe, and confident throughout their care. I begin by getting to know the person beyond the symptoms and understanding what brought them to care, then work collaboratively to develop individualized, realistic treatment plans using evidence-based medication management. Ongoing follow-up, thoughtful adjustments, clear communication, and a whole-person approach guide my work, with an emphasis on consistency and long-term support.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with nearly a decade of clinical practice and over 15 years of experience working in behavioral health. My background includes inpatient and outpatient psychiatry, crisis-focused care, community mental health, integrated pain and psychiatry care, and telepsychiatry. I have a growing interest in functional and integrative approaches to mental health. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing as a PMHNP from Indiana University and my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Indiana State University.

I prioritize creating a collaborative, supportive environment where patients feel heard and actively involved in their care. I value transparency and patient education, believing that shared understanding helps align treatment decisions with each individual's personal goals, values, and lifestyle. I conduct thorough, structured initial evaluations that remain conversational and patient-centered, with careful attention to personal history and current concerns. I respect each patient's lived experience and preferences when developing highly individualized treatment plans and, when appropriate, integrate holistic and nutritional approaches to complement traditional psychiatric care.

I bring a unique interdisciplinary background, having earned a Bachelor of Arts from Boston College and a Master of Arts in Psychology from Boston University School of Medicine, followed by licensure as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). I later completed both my Bachelor of Science in Nursing and Master of Science in Nursing in Psychiatric Mental Health at Northeastern University. I have experience practicing across multiple levels of psychiatric care, including outpatient, inpatient, emergency psychiatric services, and PHP/IOP settings.

I value open and honest communication and believe effective treatment is built on trust and collaboration. My patient-centered approach places each individual's experiences, goals, and perspectives at the heart of care. I am committed to creating a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where patients feel heard, respected, and empowered to actively participate in their mental health treatment.

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who provides mental health care in both outpatient and inpatient settings. I work with diverse populations across the lifespan and bring a strong foundation in psychiatric assessment, diagnosis, and psychopharmacologic management. My clinical practice is grounded in evidence-based medicine, ethical standards, and culturally responsive care to meet each patient's unique needs.

I begin treatment by gaining a thorough understanding of each patient's history, current concerns, strengths, and goals. Initial visits focus on comprehensive assessment and developing a shared understanding of treatment objectives. I then create individualized treatment plans that may include medication management, psychoeducation, and ongoing evaluation, adjusting care as needs and goals evolve over time.

I strive to create a supportive and respectful environment where patients feel genuinely heard and understood. I value careful listening, curiosity, and follow-through, and take a practical, individualized approach to care. Rather than relying on one-size-fits-all solutions, I collaborate with patients to clarify goals, track progress, and focus on changes that meaningfully improve daily life. I begin by developing a thorough understanding of each patient's history, current concerns, strengths, and goals. Early visits focus on understanding context: what is happening now, what has been tried, and what the patient hopes to change. Treatment plans are developed collaboratively and adjusted over time, with follow-up visits emphasizing steady, sustainable improvement through integrated and comprehensive care.

I am a board-certified psychiatrist in General Psychiatry and Child & Adolescent Psychiatry. Born and raised in Miami to a Virginian father and Cuban mother, I am bilingual in English and Spanish. I earned a B.A. in Biology and Political Science from the University of Miami, a Master of Public Health in Health Policy from New York Medical College, and my M.D. from Stony Brook University School of Medicine. I completed residency and fellowship training in New York through the Northwell Health System and BronxCare Health System, where I served as Chief Fellow in Child Psychiatry. I have also worked as a researcher at institutions including Columbia University.

Outside of work, I enjoy gaming, sci-fi fantasy, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, hiking, sailing, and sportfishing.

I use a client-centered approach grounded in acceptance, understanding, and empathetic connection. I believe positive change is possible with the right environment and mutual commitment. I partner closely with patients, utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other evidence-based methods to achieve the best outcomes. I work collaboratively to navigate life's challenges, whether they are personal, family, or relationship-related. I provide tailored solutions for each patient, with experience in marriage and couples counseling, blended families, individual therapy, adolescents, ADHD, anxiety, and depression. My goal is to create meaningful progress that empowers patients to succeed.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 11 years of experience supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds. I hold a Master's Degree in Counseling from Argosy University and maintain independent licenses in Illinois and Arizona. I have worked in both outpatient and inpatient settings.
