Summary

I am a Board-Certified General Psychiatrist and Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist.

Originally from Miami, FL, I earned my Bachelor’s of Science at the University of Miami and my Medical Doctorate from the University of Miami Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine.

I completed my Adult Psychiatry residency and a Child and Adolescent Psychiatry fellowship at the University of Florida.

Additionally, with a keen interest in a holistic, integrative approach to psychiatry, I am Board-Certified in Integrative Medicine with an additonal certification in Pastoral Counseling.

Over the last 12 years, I have had the opportunity to train and work in several different arenas including Job Corps, forensic settings, community mental health settings, as well as private clinics thus affording exposure to a wide range of clinical opportunities and creating a foundation of broad clinical experience.
