Psychiatrist and therapist working with adults in Denver with over 15 years of experience.
What to expect
I believe authentic relationship and a depth of understanding are essential keys to best mental health treatment and support. As such, whether I am evaluating for therapy or medication services, I conduct comprehensive intake interviews so as to work to appreciate the complex roles and interplay of personal psychological development, attachment relationships, trauma, genetics, physical wellness and medical illness, brain injury, neurodevelopment, medications, treatment history, substance use, social roles, values, culture, and spiritual focus in a person’s life. This basis of understanding both guides treatment recommendations and helps to build a foundation for the treatment relationship.
What you are navigating
I have extensive experience and expertise working with adults (18 and older) who confront challenges in the context of:
spectrum of mental health diagnoses
depression, anxiety, bipolar, psychoses
distress in relationship
trauma
transgenerational trauma
existential fears
medical illnesses
challenges specific to pressures and variability of culture and/or acculturation
undereducation
severe and persistent symptoms interfering with basic activities day-to-day
as well as less severe difficulties
I have specific experience in evaluating and treating people new to mental health and/or medication treatment, as well as those with more resistant symptoms.
At this time, I do not offer specific ADD/HD evaluations, nor are my services structured for primary treatment of severe substance use challenges.
My training
I am a board-certified psychiatrist by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. I earned my medical degree in 2005, as well as completed my residency through the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. In addition, I completed an in-depth Psychodynamic Psychotherapy training through the Cincinnati Psychoanalytic Institute. I also have specific experience and evolving understanding of the prospective therapeutic role of meditation and mindfulness-based practices.
I am bilingual and am available to offer services in Spanish and English.
