Introduction

SERVING ALL OF GEORGIA, FLORIDA, AND PUERTO RICO | VIRTUAL SERVICES ONLY TEXTO EN ESPAÑOL MÁS ABAJO. (Também falamos português brasileiro.) Hi! I am a board-certified psychiatrist providing mental health services centered on the whole you, not on your symptoms. I completed my academic training with a Columbia Public Psychiatry Fellowship in 2014. Mindfulness, diversity, inclusivity, respect, and compassion are pillars of my work. My approach is to empower your virtues and strengths, help you find effective ways to address the challenges you face, define your true identity, and support your choices on the path to fulfilling your aspirations. Beyond conventional evidence-based psychiatric treatment, I address psychological, social and/or spiritual aspects of your mental health with psychotherapy, mindfulness, meditation, recommending improvements to your lifestyle & diet, experiences with the rest of nature, and recommending supplements/ nutraceuticals. When appropriate, I can help you discontinue the use of psychotropic medications safely. I have additional expertise addressing difficulties with anxiety, mood imbalances, trauma, social determinants such as discrimination & racism, and the emotional challenges that we can face coping with social and climate injustice. Ki' Wellness serves residents of Puerto Rico, Georgia & Florida in English, Spanish & Brazilian Portuguese. I can provide treatment for inattention with different holistic modalities, but I don't tend to prescribe stimulants in this practice. I believe that reconnecting with nature and valuing ancestral knowledge is crucial for humanity to achieve mental balance and true wellness. I live in a rural community, learning agroecology, growing organic food in a sustainable way, and developing an ecotherapy/ ecotourism project (fincaki.com). Ki' means "Earth Spirit" in the native language of my Indigenous ancestors; it is my source of inspiration. ______________________________ ESPAÑOL: SERVICIOS DE TELESALUD (SOLO "ONLINE") EN FLORIDA, PUERTO RICO Y GEORGIA ¡Hola! Soy una psiquiatra certificada brindando un cuidado mental enfocado en la totalidad de quienes somos como personas, no en nuestros síntomas. Finalicé mi entrenamiento académico en 2014 con una subespecialidad en Psiquiatría Pública de la Universidad Columbia. La atención plena, la diversidad, la inclusión, el respeto y la compasión son pilares de mi trabajo. Mi enfoque es potenciar tus virtudes y fortalezas, ayudarte a encontrar formas efectivas de abordar los desafíos que enfrentas, definir tu verdadera identidad y apoyar las decisiones que tomes para cumplir tus aspiraciones. Más allá del tratamiento psiquiátrico convencional basado en evidencia, trabajo con los aspectos psicológicos, sociales y/o espirituales de la salud mental con herramientas como la psicoterapia, atención plena, meditaciones, recomendando mejoras en su estilo de vida y dieta, experiencias en entornos naturales y suplementos/nutracéuticos. Si es necesario y seguro, puedo ayudar con la descontinuación adecuada de medicamentos psicotrópicos. Tengo experiencia adicional trabajando con dificultades con ansiedad, cambios en el estado de ánimo, trauma y concentración, determinantes sociales como la discriminación y el racismo, y los retos psicológicos que podemos tener al lidiar con la injusticia social y climática. Bienestar Ki' provee servicios virtuales a residentes de Puerto Rico, Georgia y Florida en inglés, español y portugués brasileño. Trabajo con inatención/ hiperactividad/ TDAH con intervenciones holísticas que usualmente no incluyen recetas de estimulantes (sustancias controladas). Creo que reconectar con la naturaleza y valorar conocimientos ancestrales es crucial para que la humanidad alcance equilibrio mental y un verdadero bienestar. Vivo en una comunidad rural aprendiendo agroecología, sembrando alimentos saludables de forma sustentable, y creando un proyecto de ecoterapia/ ecoturismo (www.fincaki.com/es). Ki' significa "Espíritu de la Tierra" en el idioma nativo de mis ancestros indígenas, y es mi fuente de inspiración.
