I am a board-certified Adult, Adolescent, and Child Psychiatrist and a Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry Emeritus at New York University Medical Center. I earned my medical degree from Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara Facultad de Medicina, then completed my residency in Adult Psychiatry and a fellowship in Child Psychiatry at the State University of New York, Downstate Medical Center.

I bring decades of experience treating patients across the lifespan who face a wide range of mental health challenges, including depression, anxiety, attention deficit disorders, mood disorders, and neurodevelopmental conditions such as Autism, Asperger’s, and Intellectual Disabilities. I also have special expertise in postpartum psychiatric disorders and obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders (OCD).

I am experienced and welcoming to gay patients and families with children, and I strive to create a supportive and inclusive space for all individuals.

I do not participate in insurance plans. However, I see Medicare-eligible patients and charge Medicare rates. However, I am happy to complete any necessary medical forms so you may seek reimbursement from your insurance provider.

I maintain two offices:

• In Brooklyn, New York, my office is very accessible via subway and bus, just a short walk from major public transit. There is on-site parking available to you, as well.

• In South Florida (covering the area from Fort Lauderdale to Delray), my office is conveniently located near public bus routes and we have plentiful on-site parking that is handicap accessible.
