I am a native of Puerto Rico and a transplanted New Yorker. I graduated from Cornell University Medical College and completed a residency at St. Vincent's Hospital, followed by a fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry at Mt. Sinai Medical Center in New York. I have been in CT since 1989, initially as an assistant professor of psychiatry at Yale and director of the Connecticut Mental Health Center's Hispanic Clinic. I subsequently worked extensively as chief of the psychiatric crisis service at Griffin Hospital. I am currently the medical director of the Community Child Guidance Clinic in Manchester, CT.
I firmly believe that the mental health of children and adolescents is the primary determinant of their well-being as adults. Focusing on the assessment and treatment of children and adolescents, I have wide experience in school consultation, foster care, adoption, and the impact of culture and family on the emotional status of children.
I do not believe that medication alone can be effective in the absence of a holistic approach that may individual and family therapy, as well as educational interventions. I am bicultural, and fluent in Spanish. I have written two textbook chapters on cross-cultural psychiatry, and have been an active cultural advisor to the DSM.
