I do not prescribe any benzodiazepines like alprazolam, diazepam, clonazepam, pregabalin (Lyrica), or medications for narcolepsy! My only exception is for fear of flying and you must provide proof of your upcoming flight. Born and raised in Los Angeles to Mexican immigrant parents, I’ve always been driven by the values of hard work and helping others. I’ve spent the last 25 years in the medical field, and that journey has taught me that true health is about the whole person—mind and body.

Depression, anxiety, and mood disorders can show up in ways that quietly shape every part of a person’s life—making it harder to connect with others, manage responsibilities, or trust moments of peace when they come. Small tasks can feel heavier, emotions harder to predict, and self-judgment often grows quietly in the background. I was drawn to psychiatry because it offers a way to meet people in these real, complicated spaces with care that is personal, meaningful, and responsive to the whole person—not just their symptoms.

FAQ - About Teenage Psychiatry
What does an adolescent psychiatrist do?
Adolescent psychiatrists specialize in the mental health care of pre-teens and teens. Unlike general child psychiatrists who may treat anyone under 18 years old, adolescent psychiatrists often concentrate on youth ages 12 to 18 and are well-versed in the social, cognitive, and emotional issues that specifically affect teenagers. They focus on the unique challenges that arise during these years, such as academic pressure, social and peer dynamics, identity development, family conflict, and increasing emotional and behavioral expectations. In addition, adolescence is often the time when mood disorders, anxiety, eating disorders, or substance use concerns first emerge or intensify.
Psychiatrists who work with teens are trained to address these issues and often use a combination of talk therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches, and, when indicated, medication to treat these specific conditions. Psychiatrists with expertise in this area are also skilled at engaging teenagers in the therapeutic process and may have particular expertise in balancing the involvement of the teen's family in treatment in a way that balances the teen’s needs and growing independence. They also frequently coordinate care with schools, therapists, and other providers to ensure teens receive well-rounded support.
