Psychiatrist | Psychiatry
2665 S Bayshore Dr Suite 220 Miami FL, 33133About
I am a Yale-trained psychiatrist and addiction specialist with over 12 years of experience, and I take great pride in my dedication to patient care. Known for my compassionate and direct approach, I focus on addressing root causes and providing personalized, comprehensive treatment designed to improve both psychiatric symptoms and overall performance.
TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY:
I am straightforward and compassionate, committed to collaborating with you on your recovery journey. My focus is on selecting the lowest effective dose of medication and the most suitable therapeutic approach tailored to your needs. I consider other illnesses, genetic predispositions, and your lifestyle to ensure a safe and effective treatment plan, minimizing side effects like over-sedation or weight gain. I am trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy and CBT, specializing in Depression, Panic Disorder, trauma-focused Cognitive Processing Therapy, and integrative CBT approaches like CBASP. I also use Motivational Interviewing to support addictions and behavioral changes.
