Main Interests
1. Intermix vibrant teaching with clinical practice
(direct patient care).
a. Enjoy providing excellent
and efficient care of patients – with
emphasis on great education along with appropriate service requirements.

the ultimate "two for
one" scenario.

learning via lecture-style didactics, team learning, as well as onsite,
patient-related teaching.
2. Emphasize psychotherapy (individual, couple's,
family, group), as well as first-rate psychopharmacology in my practice.
a. Employ strength-based
approaches and motivational interviewing.
3. In Community Psychiatry since 1999 (9 years in
Air Force psychiatry prior to that).
4. Enjoy the practice of college mental health.
