Why should someone choose you to care for their health?
I take a thoughtful and integrative approach in understanding my patients’ presenting problems. I will offer them support and guidance as we work together to address their concerns and come up with appropriate interventions.

What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you? What do you expect from them?
Patients should expect that I will be open and take time to listen to them so that we can gather all the relevant information as it pertains to their health and everyday functioning. In return, I ask that my patients try to be open and honest with me throughout the evaluation so that we can best address their concerns.

How do you spend your personal time when you're not caring for patients?
I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, reading, cooking and listening to music.

Why did you choose your specialty and what is its greatest reward?
Working as a neuropsychologist allows me the privilege to use my knowledge of brain-behavior relationships to impact an individual’s well-being and day-to-day functioning.
