Professional Statement

I am a clinical psychologist with interests in the identification and treatment of anxiety and depressive disorders in older adults. I also have expertise in the treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder and related conditions (eg, trichotillomania). My research and clinical expertise focus on the provision of mental health services for older adults in primary care and community settings, with attention to expanding the reach of evidence-based mental health care to older people living in underserved, low income, mostly minority communities. Our group emphasizes the delivery of person-centered care that allows the opportunity to integrate religion and/or spirituality into a modular, skills-based treatment approach. We also are investigating the value of training nontraditional providers, including case managers and community health workers, to deliver care with the goal of expanding the availability of services.
