Overview


I joined Duke in 2015 as a faculty member in the Departments of Family Medicine and Psychiatry and am licensed in both specialties. As part of my practice, I treat both physical and mental illnesses to improve overall patient well-being. My goal is to empower patients to take charge of their own health. Aside from direct patient care, I also work within the Family Medicine Residency program developing behavioral health curriculum and training residents..  My professional  interests include primary care psychiatry, medical education, and integrated care.
