My ideal clients are individuals and families who feel overwhelmed by symptoms that are interfering with their daily lives. Many are struggling with ADHD, anxiety, depression, or mood-related challenges and may feel frustrated by difficulty focusing, managing emotions, staying organized, or keeping up with work, school, or family responsibilities. Some of my clients have lived with these challenges for years without fully understanding what is happening, while others are seeking help for the first time. Many adults come to me because they suspect they may have ADHD that was never diagnosed, and they want clarity about their symptom

My ideal clients are those who have not responded to standard psychiatric care, years of partial improvement, unclear diagnoses, or treatment that never fully addressed the problem. I came up through psychiatry from the ground floor, beginning as a mental health technician and building 13 years of clinical experience across settings. That path shapes how I evaluate and treat complexity. I work with adolescents, adults, and perinatal patients, including Spanish-speaking families, who need precise, culturally informed care. At MindSolutions Psychiatry, the focus is not just symptom control, but diagnostic clarity and resolution.

Accepting New Clients! In Psychiatry, I learned that giving of myself, listening, caring, without judgement, was necessary to facilitate a therapeutic relationship and to help my clients heal. I have a family member who suffers with schizophrenia, so I have personal experience with the struggles of the person who suffers with mental illness. I can also empathize with the heart aches of the family who try to be supportive and often lose hope. I am grateful to be able to do what I love and make a difference in the lives of others.

FAQ - About Geriatric Psychiatry
What do geriatric psychiatrists do?
Geriatric psychiatrists specialize in diagnosing and treating mental health conditions rooted in the neurological and cognitive changes of aging, such as dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and mood disorders that may be complicated by cognitive decline. In addition, they help older adults and their families navigate decisions around medications, cognitive functioning, and care planning. Geriatric psychiatrists often collaborate with neurologists, primary care physicians, and other medical specialists to ensure that psychiatric treatment aligns with other components of a client’s care.
How do geriatric psychiatrists assess mental and physical health?
Given their medical training, geriatric psychiatrists are trained to conduct cognitive and neuropsychiatric evaluations that go beyond standard mental health assessments conducted by non-medical professionals, such as therapists. They evaluate memory, attention, executive function, and behavioral changes to distinguish between normal age-related cognitive decline and diagnosable conditions such as Alzheimer's disease or dementia. Because many neurological conditions can initially present with psychiatric symptoms, they also assess how various non-psychiatric medical factors, medications, and brain changes may contribute to a client’s condition. The results of these evaluations can inform treatment planning, including medication management, patient safety considerations, and potential referral to other specialists, such as a neurologist.
How can I find a geriatric psychiatrist?
Psychology Today's online directory helps users find psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who specialize in working with the geriatric population. The platform offers filters to narrow your search by specialty, such as dementia or Alzheimer's. Each provider profile includes detailed information on therapeutic approach, licensure, insurance plans accepted, languages spoken, and session fees, allowing you to assess whether a provider is a good fit.
