Research Interests for Patients
My research interests include modifiable risk factors, lifestyle recommendations, and treatments that can play a role in slowing Mild Cognitive Impairment, Alzheimer's Dementia and Lewy Body Dementia. I am also interested in the real-world response to anti-amyloid therapies - and other potentially disease-modifying therapies that will be available in the future.

Clinical Interests for Referring Providers
My clinical interests include the diagnosis and treatment of Mild Cognitive Impairment, Alzheimer's Dementia, Lewy Body Dementia, and Parkinson's Disease Dementia. I incorporate discussion and recommendations for modifiable risk factors that play a role in the progression of dementia. In my practice I emphasize the importance of Healthy Brain Aging: physical exercise, diet, quality sleep, stress management, social activities, and cognitively stimulating activity to not only improve quality of life, but to help prevent and delay the progression of the neurodegenerative diseases I treat.
Research Interest for Referring Providers
My research interests include the treatment and progression of Alzheimer's Disease and Lewy Body Disease and their subtypes. Also, I am interested in the impact of lifestyle factors, learning, language, and culture on the progression of Mild Cognitive Impairment.
