Introduction

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 are facing, define your true identity, and support your choices in the path to fulfill your aspirations. Beyond conventional evidence-based psychiatric treatment, I use tools such as relaxation and mindfulness to re-balance your nervous system, correct nutritional deficiencies and organic imbalances, recommend improvements to your lifestyle & diet, experiences in nature, supplements, nutraceuticals, address psychologic, social and/or spiritual aspects of your mental health and, if safe and necessary, discontinue psychotropic medications adequately. I have additional expertise addressing difficulties with anxiety, mood imbalances, trauma and concentration, social determinants such as discrimination & racism, and the emotional challenges that we can face coping with social and climate injustice. 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 and growing healthy food. Ki' Wellness serves residents of Georgia & Florida in English, Spanish & Brazilian Portuguese. Ki' means "Earth Spirit" in the native language of my Indigenous ancestors; it is my source of inspiration. ______________________________ EN ESPAÑOL: ¡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 sub-especialidad 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. Además del tratamiento psiquiátrico convencional basado en evidencia, utilizo herramientas como la psicoterapia, relajación y atención plena para re-equilibrar su sistema nervioso, corregir deficiencias nutricionales y desbalances orgánicos, recomendar mejoras en su estilo de vida y dieta, experiencias en entornos naturales, suplementos, nutracéuticos, y trabajar aspectos psicológicos, sociales y/o espirituales de su salud mental. Si es necesario y seguro, puedo ayudar con la descontinuación adecuada de medicamentos psicotrópicos. Tengo experiencia adicional trabajando 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 lidiando con la injusticia social y climática. 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 y sembrando alimentos saludables. Bienestar Ki' provee servicios virtuales a residentes de Georgia y Florida en inglés, español y portugués brasileño. Ki' significa "Espíritu de la Tierra" en el idioma nativo de mis ancestros indígenas, y es mi fuente de inspiración.
