About Me

I am fellowship-trained in behavioral neurology and neuropsychiatry and a board-certified psychiatrist. I provide care for mild to severe dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease, traumatic brain injury, neuropsychiatric illnesses and changes in thinking and memory caused by poor blood flow to the brain. 

With newer diagnostic tests and treatment options, we can provide more meaningful care at early stages of diseases of the brain, spinal cord and nerves. My goal is to give patients the tools to keep their brains healthy for as long as possible. Being part of the doctor-patient and family relationship is the best part of being a physician. Neurologic disorders affecting behavior and understanding can be a difficult journey. It's both humbling and rewarding to provide answers and comfort, help and hope. 

I grew up in central Pennsylvania. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, hiking, backpacking, biking and running.
