Accepting new patients for telepsychiatry and occasional in-person sessions in Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Irvine and San Diego.
About
My approach is based on integrative psychiatry, which uses medications, therapy and complementary medicine to treat the whole person, not just the symptoms. I address the combined impact of sleep, lifestyle, relationships, nutrition and chronic medical conditions on well-being, and use cutting edge tools like genetic testing to guide personalized treatment with medication and supplements. I consider the patient’s cultural background in my assessments and I can provide treatment in Spanish, Portuguese, French and Italian. My goal is to help my patients create lasting changes and build vitality, resilience and purpose in life.
Originally from Brazil, I moved to the US 20 years ago to pursue a Master’s degree in Counseling, and worked as a therapist for several years before becoming a Medical Doctor. My experience as a therapist has given me a deeper understanding of my patients' struggles, allowing me to address the root of their issues rather than superficially treat symptoms.
I am licensed to practice telehealth statewide and can see you by video call from the safety and comfort of your home. I also have office availability in several locations for occasional in-person sessions. Please call me to briefly discuss your concerns and goals for treatment.
