I completed my general adult psychiatry residency at the Medical University of South Carolina, where I also participated in the two-year Drug Abuse Research Training (DART) program, strengthening my expertise in evidence-based psychiatric care.

I take a straightforward, collaborative approach to care. My goal is to help patients feel better in ways that are practical and sustainable. I emphasize clear communication, realistic expectations, and a judgment-free space where patients can speak openly and work toward meaningful, long-term improvement.

I begin with a focused, comprehensive evaluation to understand each patient's symptoms, background, and goals. I then develop a personalized treatment plan that may include medication, brief therapy, and actionable daily strategies. Follow-ups are efficient and goal-oriented, with adjustments made to support continued progress.

I am a psychiatrist with experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings, treating depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and psychotic disorders. I earned my medical degree from the American University of Antigua College of Medicine and completed my psychiatry residency at Penn State Health.

My approach is largely psychodynamic, with an emphasis on understanding the psychological roots of behavior patterns and how past experiences shape present functioning. I strive to create a warm, calm, and supportive environment where patients feel validated and genuinely cared for. I view each patient holistically, considering lifestyle factors alongside emotional and psychological concerns, and often incorporate psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based practices.

I earned my medical degree from the University of Santo Tomas in the Philippines and completed my psychiatry residency at St. Elizabeths Hospital in Washington, DC, followed by a child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in partnership with BronxCare Health System in New York. I am double board certified in adult psychiatry and child and adolescent psychiatry by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. After training, I joined a group private practice serving patients of diverse ages and backgrounds and continue to occasionally oversee fellows and their cases at an outpatient clinic at BronxCare.

During the initial intake, I carefully explore the patient's presenting concerns and conduct a comprehensive review of medical, psychiatric, and psychosocial history, including developmental history for child patients. I discuss my assessment openly, value patient input, and collaborate closely with each individual to develop a personalized treatment plan aligned with their goals and unique circumstances.

I value thoughtful, individualized care and approach psychiatry with curiosity, compassion, and respect for each patient's lived experience. Patients can expect a collaborative, supportive relationship built on trust and shared decision-making. I believe that high-quality psychiatric care starts with listening and understanding each patient's goals and concerns. I emphasize transparency, patient education, and tailoring treatment plans to meet individual needs.

I am a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) and am double board-certified in adult and forensic psychiatry. I have experience working in both inpatient and outpatient settings and treat a wide range of psychiatric conditions, including anxiety, mood, personality, and trauma-related disorders. I begin with a comprehensive evaluation to understand symptoms, history, and priorities. For many patients, I find that combining medication management with talk therapy leads to the most effective outcomes, and I am experienced in providing both. I currently provide virtual care to adult patients in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New York.

I create a warm, collaborative environment where patients feel heard and respected. I value open communication and work with patients to set meaningful, realistic goals at a pace that feels comfortable. Using evidence-based treatments, I explain the reasoning behind each approach so patients feel informed and empowered throughout their care. I bring expertise in ADHD, depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, bipolar depression, OCD, and a wide range of psychiatric conditions.

In the first session, I take time to understand each patient's history, concerns, and goals. Together, we identify key areas of focus and build an individualized treatment plan. Follow-up sessions build on progress, address challenges, and adjust the plan as needs evolve. I work at the patient's pace, helping them explore patterns, gain insight, and develop a sustainable path forward.

I attended the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, where I majored in Economics, before earning my medical degree from Lincoln Memorial University. I completed my psychiatry residency at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis. I have experience in both inpatient and outpatient care.
