Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in New York

I am a board-certified, bilingual (English/Spanish) psychiatrist who is passionate about understanding my clients at a deeper level and helping them find the emotional wellbeing they seek. After finishing my residency at the University of Miami/Jackson Health System, where I served as a Chief Resident, I completed a two-year interpersonal psychoanalysis course at the William Alanson White Institute in New York City.

I began my professional life as a teacher, and that experience continues to shape the way I connect with people in therapy. I earned both my BA and MA in Education and spent 20 years in a variety of teaching roles before pursuing a master’s degree in Counseling. I later completed my doctoral degree in clinical psychology and have been practicing as a therapist for the past five years. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, and OCD.

I also bring many years of experience providing neurodivergent-affirming therapy, and I value creating a space where people feel understood, supported, and accepted as they are.
