You don’t have to have it all figured out before you reach out. If you’re here, some part of you is already looking for something to change — to feel more like yourself again, to get real answers instead of just another prescription, to talk to someone who sees your whole story and not just a diagnosis.
That’s the kind of care I practice.
When we work together, I want to know who you are — not just your symptoms. What does your day actually look like? How are you sleeping, eating, moving? What gives your life meaning, and what’s been missing lately? Your history, your culture, your beliefs, the things that get you out of bed in the morning — all of it matters here. No two people get the same treatment plan, because no two people are the same person.
That’s what whole-person psychiatry means to me. It isn’t a buzzword — it’s how I actually plan and run every appointment. Medication is often part of the picture, and I take that seriously, but it’s never the whole picture.
I lead with empathy first, clinical excellence always, and a steady commitment to care that’s guided by your goals, your values, and your voice — not mine.
A little about my path, for context: I’m a doctorally trained Physician Associate, originally from Peru, where I first studied Nutrition before coming to the United States to continue my education. I earned my B.S. in Biology from the University of Texas at San Antonio, my Master of Physician Assistant Studies from Touro University Nevada, and my Doctor of Medical Science with a concentration in Psychiatry from Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions (2020). I’ve treated anxiety, mood disorders, psychotic-spectrum conditions, and trauma, combining conventional psychiatric care with a functional, integrative approach.
If this sounds like the kind of care you’ve been looking for, I’d love to hear from you.
