My Story
For as long as I can remember, I have been drawn to helping others navigate life’s challenges. My journey into psychiatry began with a deep interest in understanding the mind and the complex ways in which our thoughts, emotions, and experiences shape who we are. After completing my education at the University of Maryland, I was fortunate to begin my career in a field where I could make a real difference in people's lives.
Over the past 23 years, I have worked with individuals from all walks of life, from toddlers to adults, each with their own unique stories and struggles. I have developed a special interest in working with children, teens, and families, as well as communities facing specific challenges, such as those with disabilities or those navigating the complexities of single parenthood.
​
What drives me every day is the belief that mental health care should be as individualized and compassionate as possible. I take the time to truly understand each person’s experience, offering not just treatment, but a partnership in the journey toward healing and growth.
​
As a bilingual psychiatrist, I’m proud to offer care to both English- and Spanish-speaking clients, ensuring that language is never a barrier to receiving the care and support needed. Whether you’re facing anxiety, ADHD, mood disorders, or life transitions, I’m here to help you through it with warmth, respect, and expertise.

I look forward to working with you and supporting you in achieving better mental health, meeting you where you are.
