I am a neurologist with a special focus on aging and Alzheimer’s disease. I treat a wide range of neurological conditions. One of the most important lessons I’ve learned is that no two patients experience neurological disease the same way. 

I approach every patient as an individual, working to understand the unique ways their symptoms show up and affect their life. I also stay committed to bringing promising new Alzheimer’s therapies to Oregon, and I’m excited about the advances we’re seeing.

My path to OHSU started in Boston, where I completed most of my medical education and training. I came to OHSU for a fellowship in geriatric neurology and have been here ever since—first as a fellow, then as a faculty member. Alongside my clinical work, I’ve been deeply involved in medical education, first helping lead the neurology clerkship and now serving as the neurology residency program director.

When I’m not in the clinic, you can usually find me spending time with my family, reading a good novel (especially science fiction) or working on home improvement projects.
