She believes that every individual deserves to be seen, heard, and supported in their unique mental health journey. Her approach to care is grounded in empathy, trust, and collaboration, with an emphasis on treating the whole person — not just the diagnosis.
Elba’s goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where patients feel empowered to participate actively in their healing. She strives to understand each patient’s personal story, background, and experiences to develop personalized treatment plans that promote balance, resilience, and long-term well-being.
Her clinical experience spans a diverse range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, insomnia, and mood-related disorders. She also has a special interest in women’s mental health, with a focus on perinatal and postpartum care, as well as the emotional impact of life transitions.
Elba’s treatment philosophy integrates psychotherapy, medication management, and holistic lifestyle recommendations such as mindfulness, nutrition, and stress-reduction techniques. She believes the most effective care happens when compassion meets evidence-based medicine, allowing patients to achieve both stability and growth.
Outside of her professional practice, she enjoys spending quality time with her family and friends, traveling, and exploring ways to nurture both mind and body. Elba is passionate about continuous learning and staying current with emerging research in psychiatry to ensure her patients receive the highest standard of care.
Elba believes healing is a deeply personal journey — one that takes patience, honesty, and compassion. It is not about perfection but about progress, self-awareness, and learning to extend the same kindness to yourself that you would to others.

During psychiatry residency at Wake Forest University I had to write a personal statement to apply for a child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship. It had to be good and truthful. Thinking about my experience with children in Argentina where I went to medical school while working for a church as a tutor for poor children. In USA as I re-validated the Medical Doctor degree working as a Physician Assistant for two pediatricians, and having four children of my own, concluded "I probably didn't give them much but I gave them my best to help them through parts of this journey called life", and "I received a lot in return that made me today almost as resilient as they were". Fast forward, looking back into more recent years and working mostly with adult patients now, I feel the same. My patients are not clients with better or worse insurance, but people like me, going through this journey called life where my mission is to help them go through forks, bumps, and traps as I do with God's help

As a child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist with expertise in both medication management and psychotherapy, I can help patients develop a treatment plan that meets their needs. My style is guided by warmth and flexibility, with the goals of helping patients build insight and reduce symptoms.
I create individualized treatment plans, assessing patients' goals, unique life experiences, and biological risk factors. While medication is useful in some cases, I am dedicated to helping my patients achieve lasting change through therapy as well.
