Many of the people I work with are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, burnout, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. I especially enjoy working with adults who want a thoughtful and collaborative approach to treatment, including individuals navigating cultural, family, or relationship stressors. As a bilingual psychiatrist, I also strive to create a welcoming space for Spanish-speaking patients and those seeking culturally informed care. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, feel more emotionally grounded, and make meaningful, sustainable progress over time.

My practice often centers neurodivergent people, especially those who are gifted, autistic, or have ADHD. Many are dealing with perfectionism, anxiety, or long-term trauma. Many are also BIPOC and LGBTQ+ and want a provider who truly sees and understands them. I also have a strong medical background and broad experience across many areas of psychiatry. I work with a wide range of mental health concerns and help people better understand what they’re feeling and find simple, practical tools that actually work.

Depression, Anxiety, and complex trauma can deeply impact daily life, making it difficult to find stability, motivation, or peace of mind. You may feel weighed down by persistent sadness, overwhelming worry, or unpredictable mood shifts, unsure of how to move forward. Yet even in the most challenging moments, transformation is possible. The privilege of walking alongside individuals during these intense times—and witnessing their growth and resilience—is what led me to become a mental health clinician and continues to inspire my work today.

FAQ - Hispanic and Latino Psychiatrists
What can a Hispanic and Latino psychiatrist help with?
Psychiatrists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions, often using a combination of therapy and medication. For many in the Hispanic and Latino individuals, finding a psychiatrist who shares and understands their cultural identity can be an important step toward feeling seen and supported. A provider with shared cultural roots or cultural competence may have a more intuitive understanding of cultural values and may also be better equipped to address sensitive issues like acculturation challenges or the stigma that can prevent individuals from seeking mental health support.

Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Hispanic and Latino psychiatrists?
Psychology Today's online directory is a helpful tool that can help aid your search for a Hispanic or Latino psychiatrist. The directory allows you to filter your search specifically for Hispanic or Latino psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs). When reviewing a provider’s profile, look for key information that signals cultural competence—such as being fluent in Spanish or being knowledgeable about certain topics like immigration-related trauma, family dynamics, or bicultural identity. Also, consider practical factors like their offered therapeutic styles (e.g., CBT, family therapy), whether they provide telehealth or in-person sessions, and which insurance plans they accept to ensure that care is both accessible and a good fit for you.
