About My Clients
At times, certain thought patterns, self-perceptions, traumatic experiences, or communication struggles can keep people from thriving and building the kind of career, relationship, or personal well-being they crave. It takes courage to work on these issues, and it is a real privilege to get to help people on their journey. I have tremendous respect and admiration for my patients, as they work through challenging emotions, histories, and conflicts.
My Background and Approach
I grew up in Miami, Florida, went to college at Stanford University, and graduated with a medical degree (MD) from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). I completed my psychiatry residency training at Harvard Medical School’s Cambridge Health Alliance. Growing up in an immigrant family and having worked in multiple clinics internationally, I highly value providing culturally competent care. In building a therapeutic alliance, it is very important to me that my patients feel seen and heard. I use a collaborative approach to care, in which I work alongside clients to define and set goals. I’m transparent about the extent of what is and isn’t well-known in psychiatry with the goal of helping people make informed decisions that they feel comfortable implementing. When there are hiccups along the way, I strive to be curious and creative with clients rather than admonishing or judging.
