She is the founder of Pinecrest Psychiatry in Miami, Florida and a leader in raising awareness and educating clinicians and students on the critical need to identify, manage, and appropriately treat mental health disorders in primary care settings.

She has published articles on uncommon and subtle psychiatric conditions that could easily be overlooked in primary care settings.
