Having completed my medical training, I worked for the next 20 years in Raleigh as an outpatient adult psychiatrist. I had a solo practice that provided both psychotherapy and pharmacological management while cultivating special interest in healthy aging, nutrition and end-of-life care. In addition, I led small groups in mid-life spirituality and therapeutic writing. Later, my focus shifted to the needs of my elderly parents; in particular, my mother with dementia. Bearing witness to the unfolding of my mother's illness sparked an interest in memory disorders that ultimately led me back to school for Geriatric Psychiatry. I currently work on the Geriatric adult inpatient unit, forging coalitions and offering care to the older adults in the area. I also coordinate a Geriatric outpatient clinic and see patients at The Cedars and Galloway Ridge, two continuing care retirement communities in Chapel Hill.

I am a prenatal and reproductive genetic counselor with over five years of experience. I work closely with families during and prior to pregnancy to guide and support them in learning about how inherited diseases and conditions might affect them and their families, in making decisions about testing, and in interpreting genetic test results based on their personal and family history.
