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.
