I grew up in Texas and attended medical school at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. I completed residency and fellowship at the University of New Mexico. Throughout my training, I have worked with patients and families from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds. I have training in a wide range of mental health conditions, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, post traumatic stress disorder, mood disorders and anxiety.

I am passionate about helping patients reach their personal goals through collaborative patient-focused psychiatric care, different treatment modalities and a therapeutic approach to medication management. I am board certified in both adult and child and adolescent psychiatry and am fluent in both English and Spanish.
