Biography
I strive to provide a patient-centered and collaborative approach when developing treatment plans. I specialize in medication management and supportive psychotherapy. When appropriate, I may make a referral for more specialized therapeutic interventions. For child and adolescent patients, I encourage parental involvement at each visit to ensure a family-centered approach is being followed to best support the child's needs.
I am a board-certified Adult Psychiatrist and a board-certified Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist. I earned my medical degree from the University of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences Campus, completed my Adult Psychiatry residency at the University of Connecticut, and sub-specialized in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at New York University. Prior to joining Talkiatry, I served as a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist at a busy academic outpatient clinic and on an inpatient basis, providing care to children with complex medical needs.
During the first visit, I conduct a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation with a goal of understanding a patient's treatment history, current symptomatology, and personal goals. I work together with my patients to foster a collaborative environment, personalize treatment plans, and support patients in achieving an improved quality of life.
