I am a clinical neuropsychologist who has been with the Department of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation for more than 25 years. Most of my time is spent evaluating the neurocognitive functioning of adults with a variety of presentations and diagnoses, including concussion/mild TBI, moderate TBI, stroke, autoimmune disease, cardiovascular disease, cancer, long COVID, and primary psychiatric disorders. I have also spent the past 8 years evaluating former NFL players with a history of multiple concussions. I do some forensic consultation, usually in personal injury cases but sometimes for competence and/or mitigation in sentencing. I have a strong interest in lifestyle medicine and mind-body practices for reducing risk for cognitive decline and as interventions to promote recovery following brain injury. I’ve co-authored a couple of book chapters and a systematic review of complementary and integrative medicine practices for brain injury, but very few peer reviewed works. I am interested in identifying and addressing disparities in access to health care but have no research experience in this area. I am also interested in the interface between somatic symptoms of illness, self-reported psychiatric symptoms, and cognitive dysfunction.
