Why Work With Me?
I offer a "cozy" office experience in Houston, TX, and convenient virtual care across 7 states ( DE, FL, GA, IA, KS, MT, and TX). My goal is to make mental health easy, accessible and relatable.
I know reaching out for help isn’t always easy. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, feeling overwhelmed, or simply not feeling like yourself, my goal is to provide a space where you feel comfortable being honest about what you’re going through.
I believe people do best when they feel genuinely heard and understood. I take the time to listen, answer questions, and work with you to find solutions that fit your life. My focus is helping you feel better, function better, and get back to being the version of yourself you want to be.
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.











Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right psychiatrist in Deland starts with understanding the type of care you need. Psychiatrists can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication as part of mental health care. Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can also prescribe and manage medication. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work with you on concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or bipolar disorder. Some people start with a psychiatrist, some start with a therapist, and some work with both. As you compare options, look for a specialist whose training, listed specialties, and approach match the support you want.
In a smaller city like Deland, local psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger Florida metros. Virtual appointments can expand your search while still helping you stay connected to care from home. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, so availability, appointment format, and scheduling fit can matter as much as location. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some focus mainly on prescribing and follow-up care. Reading bios before booking can help you understand each psychiatrist’s style, areas of focus, and what to expect from your first appointment.
Psychiatric care in Deland can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower out-of-pocket costs. Headway makes it easier to find psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners who are accepting new patients, match your preferences, and take your plan. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs before you book, then compare bios, review availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
