I have often wondered why mental healthcare is almost always delivered seated in an office. During the course of my Navy career, I adapted mental healthcare to a variety of settings, including primary care clinics, amputee clinics, traumatic brain injury units, deployed military settings, outpatient mental health clinics, and prisons. I am convinced that effective outpatient mental healthcare can be delivered almost anywhere. During my three years providing mental healthcare at the Walter Reed Military Advanced Training Center, I saw people improve their mind and body at the same time. 

I have brought a similar concept to the civilian healthcare system. Substantial research supports the role of physical activity in brain health. Meanwhile, our healthcare system still relies heavily on prescription drugs and seated interactions with healthcare providers. I believe that the gym has replaced the therapy couch and I am literally ready to walk with you on your journey to mental wellness.  Get ready to Think, Talk, and Move. 

I treat individuals aged 12 and older with a compassionate mixture of medications, coaching, guided physical activity, and psychotherapy.
