• Clinical Program Coordinator, Comprehensive Smoking Treatment Program

My clinical practice is focused on Nicotine Dependence. My outpatient practice is composed of patients with and without health-related issues that are complicated by their nicotine dependence. I assist patients using not only cigarettes, but also cigars, cigarillos, chew and electronic cigarettes.

Our team shares a common philosophy- smokers deserve treatment that is both supportive and compassionate, without guilt or pressure. I strongly stand by this and work to maintain a positive environment that does not rely on fear or shame to motivate patients. Our approach has also been helpful for patients who have struggled during previous quit attempts or relapsed after long periods of abstinence.
