Hi. I am a board-certified mental health provider licensed in NY State. I obtained my Master’s in Psychiatry and Mental Health at D’Youville University, Buffalo, NY, and I am concluding my Doctoral program in Psychiatry at the same university. I am also a licensed medical doctor and dermatologist in Europe. I offer my patients inclusive medical knowledge and experience of psychiatric and physical health conditions necessary in the holistic management of mental disorders. I firmly believe that each patient should receive a comprehensive mental evaluation, strictly individualized treatment care, and emotional support to achieve a mutual goal: cognitive and emotional well-being.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, we establish a therapeutic relationship and set goals. I would like to know what you would like to achieve and what you expect from this treatment, which will be a combination of medication treatment where it is needed and talk therapy. Then, we set up goals and start working towards them. During sessions, we discuss measurable outcomes for our goal of desirable improvement.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I believe in a holistic approach to mental health disorders. I combine medication treatment with talk therapy and empowering tools for self-help. I am very flexible in my treatment plans, which are strictly individual according to the person's needs. I listen to my patients and what they need and use my medical judgment to accommodate their therapeutic needs best. I am empowering my patients with a free choice for their treatment, and I explain to them that this is their body and their health, so they are the ones who are entitled to decide what is best for them with the help of my input and support. I am a lifelong learner. I have two bachelor's degrees and soon two doctoral degrees, with a medical specialty and multiple skills and educations obtained while working all this time and three children, all simultaneously. Nothing is impossible when you set and follow a goal, no matter the obstacles life puts you through. As long as you stay faithful to yourself and remember your goal and why you started the journey, you actively work to be equipped with resilience and perseverance, which are my two favorite powerful words.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I teach my patients through CBT coping skills and self-reflection and make them aware of how their thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs affect their emotions, leading to their actions and consequences, positive versus negative, which is their choice entirely up to them. I teach them that they can change their lives and not others with whom they interact. I am teaching my patients to follow the motto: "Happiness and success are a choice, choose them and they will choose you!"
