I offer medication treatments and partner with patients to explore how their experiences, values, and goals shape their identity. By addressing maladaptive patterns and life challenges, I provide personalized, comprehensive care to help patients reach their full potential.

I earned my bachelor's degree in political philosophy and premedical sciences at the University of California, Davis, exploring how ideas shape cultures and institutions. Philosophy and science taught me that human experience is influenced by our past, beliefs, and biology. After graduation, I worked as a therapist for neurodivergent individuals, helping them process challenges and develop skills to reach their goals. I studied holistic patient care at Touro University College of Medicine, focusing on mind, body, and spirit. I completed my psychiatry residency at Riverside University Health System in Southern California, serving diverse patients with varied mental health conditions. As chief resident, I trained future physicians in evidence-based approaches while emphasizing the therapeutic and humanistic foundations of psychiatry.

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.

My treatment approach features an appreciation of the power of narrative in pursuit of deep self-understanding and meaningful personal progress. I offer thorough assessment in an approachable, warm, and authentic manner, emphasizing the importance of lifestyle factors, the mind-body connection, relationships, and therapeutic rapport in collaboratively empowering my patients to achieve positive change, recovery, and resilience. I have training and experience in a wide range of therapeutic modalities, including supportive, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and family psychotherapy as well as positive psychology, and my strong systems-oriented perspective facilitates my provision of evidence-based care both as an individual psychiatrist and in collaboration with specialized medical and therapeutic care providers when appropriate.

I am a double board-certified physician in General Adult and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. I graduated magna cum laude from Rosemont College, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology with dual minors in Biochemistry and English Literature, and I earned my medical degree from Drexel University College of Medicine with a concentration in Medical Humanities. I completed residency training at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and a Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. My areas of research interest and publication during undergraduate and medical study and training have included pediatric palliative care, caregiver burden, autism spectrum disorders, and attachment-based family therapy.

Before joining Talkiatry, I worked for nearly 12 years as a staff psychiatrist for Prospect Crozer Keystone Health System. My extensive clinical experience includes providing in-person and telepsychiatric care in a variety of settings including outpatient psychotherapy and community mental healthcare practices, hospital-based clinics, and school-based treatment programs, as well as emergency, consultation-liaison, and inpatient psychiatry.
