My clinical interests include severe and persistent mental illness, substance use disorders, and care of transgender and gender non-conforming individuals. My clinics at the University of Maryland are the Continuous Care Team (CCT), providing intensive care to patients at high risk of re-hospitalization; the Fayette Clinic, providing care to Community Psychiatry patients; and the Addiction Treatment Program, providing care to patients with co-morbid substance use disorders. My research interests include the study of psychiatric illness, psychiatric care, and social determinants of health in substance use disorders.
