Who We Are

Personal Statement

As a Consultation-Liaison psychiatrist and health services researcher, I seek to improve mental health services in medical settings, especially among underserved populations. I work with colleagues in a wide array of disciplines (medical, public health, engineering and others) to develop new ways to increase the reach of evidence-based mental health services using technology-enabled service models to leverage limited specialty mental health expertise. My expertise is in integrating mental health services in primary care. I have experience with research, implementation support, and teaching Collaborative Care, an evidence-based approach to delivering mental health services in medical settings.
