Thank you for your interest in my self-pay private practice Mariposa Psychiatry. If interested, please review and submit a practice inquiry at my website - mariposapsychmd(.)com. I am welcoming new patients who are seeking insight-oriented or "psychodynamic" psychotherapy. Medication management can be offered if needed. My practice is primarily virtual, however I can offer some limited in-person availability in Northwest Austin. I am glad to speak to you by phone to determine if we are a good fit.
I’m a bilingual psychiatrist specializing in psychosomatic (mind-body) medicine, complex mood disorders, and self-esteem/interpersonal function. As a physician, I offer expert psychotherapy + psychiatry integrating my expertise in medical conditions (like cancer, heart disease, seizures) with psychoanalytic ideas and academic level psychopharmacology.
Patients often know they need more than a quick fix. Perhaps there are long-standing patterns that feel resistant to change and can't be addressed in a 15-min med check.
I hope to offer a trusted partnership that attends not only to symptom relief but also to purpose and self-understanding. I welcome people from all backgrounds, especially BIPOC and LGBTQ+.
