I grew up in south Florida where an interest in the people who live here helped shape me. My father and grandfather were both physicians, so I certainly was influenced by a strong family tradition in medicine. I earned my medical degree at The Chicago Medical School and returned to Miami to complete my Psychiatry residency at the University of Miami. I accept Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, United Healthcare, Humana and Medicare. At Lake Worth Psychiatry we also provide Spravato (esketamine) and TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation).

I don't do 10-15 minute med checks because I don't believe you can properly prescribe medication if you don't understand what is going on with the patient. History is everything in psychiatry and studies consistently show that therapy plus medication works better than either one alone. I use a biopsychosocial approach and treat the whole patient, and coordinate care with other providers. I also do home visits for homebound patients on Mondays and Fridays. I was profiled in the American Psychiatric Nurses Association national newsletter March 2012 issue.

It is my belief that true peace and healing can only occur with a full understanding of the individual and how they relate to the world around them. Therefore, medication is only a small piece of the puzzle and although there is much talk about the use of evidence based treatments, the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence and so I try to incorporate different schools of thought from not only Western Medicine, but Eastern Medicine as well. In the final analysis we are on this journey together and I find it a privilege to be able to join you.

FAQ - Oncology Psychiatry
How can psychiatrists help with cancer-related emotional challenges?
A personal cancer diagnosis, or that of a loved one, can be an emotionally intense experience, often triggering feelings of sadness, grief, and fear. Beyond the medical challenges, cancer treatment can introduce additional stressors, such as financial burdens and logistical difficulties related to ongoing care. As a result, many individuals benefit not only from seeing a cancer care team but also from psychiatric support to help manage the emotional impact of the diagnosis and treatment process.
What does psychiatric treatment for cancer patients involve?
Psychiatrists who specialize in cancer care have expertise in the unique psychological challenges patients face, and treatment approaches typically involve a combination of medication and psychotherapy that are tailored to each individual's needs. They can support clients in processing a new diagnosis, coping with the physical and emotional demands of treatment, and addressing end-of-life concerns, when necessary. Psychiatrists can prescribe and manage medications for mental health conditions and ensure that these medications are compatible with any cancer-related treatments. Psychiatrists may prescribe antidepressants to address symptoms of depression or use medications such as antipsychotics to help manage common cancer treatment side effects like delirium or nausea—common complications of treatments like chemotherapy. In therapy sessions, psychiatrists might use talk therapy to provide a space for patients to express their concerns, mindfulness practices to reduce stress, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and reframe distressing thought patterns.
How can I find a psychiatrist who specializes in cancer care?
To find a psychiatrist who specializes in cancer care, the Psychology Today psychiatrist directory can be a helpful resource. Use the filter options to narrow your search by relevant topics such as cancer, grief, depression, or chronic illness. Provider profiles include information about therapeutic approaches, credentials, insurance acceptance, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing this information can help individuals and caregivers choose a provider who aligns with their specific needs—whether they are navigating a recent diagnosis or ongoing treatment.
