Care Philosophy
As a neuropsychiatrist I have a holistic view of the brain and attempt to understand not only the disease but the person and the impact the disease has had on their life and functioning. My main focus is in neurorehabilitation and the promotion of new neural pathways after traumatic brain injury, stroke, neuroinflammatory diseases, and neurodegeneration.

Volunteer Activities
I volunteer with the Brain Injury Association and multiple community mental health groups. For the last 6 years I helped run a community driven program that focused on nutrition/wellness/access to healthcare/art and music therapy/and exercise for people diagnosed with a serious mental illness.

Public Speaking
Yes
I have a passion for public health and work with many community groups to promote nutrition and wellness education in neurodegenerative diseases.
