East Greenwich Office
Hailing originally from England, I came to the USA for graduate school. I subsequently did my medical training and obtained my Ph.D in Pharmacology and Neuroscience at Albany Medical College. I completed my residency training in General Adult Psychiatry at Brown University in 2004.
I have been treating adults with mood and anxiety disorders, psychosis and ADHD at Plaza Psychology and Psychiatry since then, and am now the President of this organization I love so much. I have completed specialty training in EMDR ( Eye Movement Desensitization and Reintegration) due to my particular interest in working with adults struggling with the aftermath of childhood and adult trauma.
