Late Life Anxiety

As a geriatric psychiatrist, my professional interests revolve around improving the quality of lives for people with dementia, dementia-related psychiatric symptoms, and their caregivers. I provide direct clinical care as a psychiatrist at the VA Puget Sound, and I am involved in projects addressing dementia-related agitation. As the UW geriatric psychiatry fellowship director, I also recognize that training the next generation of geriatric psychiatrists is vital in order to meet the growing population needs in geriatrics.
