About Me

I am a professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and Director of Health Promotion and Healthcare Parity at the Nisonger Center. I specialize in advancing health equity for individuals with disabilities, particularly those with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

My patients and colleagues can rely on me for compassionate, evidence-based care and advocacy that prioritizes inclusion, dignity, and access. I collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of experts to develop and implement programs that improve health outcomes and reduce disparities for people with disabilities.

In addition to my clinical and leadership responsibilities, I am deeply committed to education and research. I direct a federally funded rehabilitation research and training center focused on mental health in adults with intellectual disabilities and co-direct the Ohio Disability and Health Program, a statewide initiative supported by the CDC. I also lead efforts to integrate disability training into healthcare education to better prepare providers to deliver inclusive care.
