I am a child and adolescent psychiatrist who enjoys helping individuals and families thrive through evidence-based treatments, including psychotherapy and medication.

Originally from Florida, I received a bachelor’s degree in Hispanic Studies at Davidson College and attended medical school at the University of Florida. I completed adult psychiatry training at the University of Virginia before relocating to California, where I completed child and adolescent psychiatry training at Stanford University.

I have experience with a variety of therapy modalities, including specialized certification in parent child interaction therapy (PCIT).

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with loved ones, all forms of dance, and exploring new places. I am excited to be on the BACA team and look forward to meeting you!
