‏I received a BA in philosophy from the University of Dallas and an MD from Columbia University College of Physician and Surgeons. I subsequently completed a neurology residency and neurocritical care fellowship at Yale-New Haven Hospital. I have worked as faculty in the department of neurology at Yale University, and I now maintain an independent neurohospitalist practice where I also teach residents at Yale.

‏Though I have significant experience and skill treating life threatening injuries of the nervous system, I maintain a broad practice in neurology with a particular interest in disorders at the boundary between neurology and psychiatry. I have particular interest in mood disorders related to neurological illness such as post-stroke and post-traumatic brain injury depression, depression and anxiety related to terminal diagnoses such as neurodegenerative disorders and brain cancer, functional neurological disorders, psychogenic attacks, and autism spectrum disorder. I also treat caregiver burnout and healthcare worker burnout and depression.

‏I completed ketamine assisted therapy training with Dr. Phil Wolfson and the Ketamine Training Center, and I have also trained in transcranial magnetic stimulation with Dr. Mark George at MUSC. At the moment, my focus is on ketamine assisted therapy, and I am constantly learning and integrating cutting edge developments in the field into my practice. My approach is informed by an emerging neuroscientific model of circuits and networks, but I view this as inseparable from subjective experience, where humanistic traditions have studied the mind for thousands of years.

‏I believe every patient is unique, and I do my best to tailor treatments to individuals. My patients are people first, and I treat the entire person with a holistic and integrative approach that focuses on aspirations—“how do you want to live with the time you have” rather than mere symptom reduction. I believe the doctor-patient relationship is sacred and built on trust, and I hold myself to the highest ethical standards in my practice.
