Clinical Interests
I focus on conditions that affect both cognition and movement, primarily Parkinson's disease dementia and dementia with Lewy bodies. I have completed fellowship training in both Movement Disorders and Behavioral Neurology, which laid the foundation for this clinical and research focus.
Care Philosophy
I frequently tell my patients that I know a lot about THE brain, but they know a lot about THEIR brain, and we are therefore teammates in understanding and treating their neurological condition. We focus on practical and meaningful interventions for cognitive health and brain aging together, namely physical activity, diet, social engagement, and humor, not only improve overall quality of life, but to help delay the progression of their neurodegenerative condition.
Personal Interests
I enjoy reading historical fiction, especially anything that focuses on Eleanor of Aquitaine, riding my Peloton, and interior decorating.
Public Speaking
Yes
I enjoy speaking to both community and professional audiences about how we evaluate and categorize neurodegenerative conditions, with a special focus on Lewy body dementia.
