I am a physician, trained in Internal Medicine and Psychiatry and have spent my career at the interface between medicine and psychiatry. I have conducted research, supported education and engaged in clinical work within primary care settings, as well as within behavioral medicine clinics and programs. I have a longstanding interest in clinician-patient communication and the integration of health behavior counseling within primary care and other health care settings. Since 2008, I have been with the US Veterans Health Adminstration where I currently co-lead efforts to integrate health coaching and MI within VA primary care clinical settings. I enjoy collaborating and connecting with others with similar interests.
