Board-certified in psychiatry, I have over 3 decades of clinical experience and have authored over 150 publications. I direct the Paul McHugh Program for Human Flourishing, where - as a certified Visual Thinking Strategies facilitator and coach - I use art and aesthetic experiences to explore with health professions learners what it means to be human, to be a clinician, and to lead a good life.

I have served as principal investigator or co-investigator on multiple nationally funded research projects; some focused on psychiatric disorders and others on humanistic medical education and practice. In addition, I have authored two textbooks and an award-winning book for patients and families living with mental illness: From Survive to Thrive: Living Your Best Life with Mental Illness. As a member of the Miller Coulson Academy of Clinical Excellence, I want to ensure that all people receiving healthcare are treated with respect and dignity. As the director of the Paul McHugh Program for Human Flourishing, I want to teach health professions learners and practitioners how to connect more fully with their own humanity and to flourish both personally and professionally. I believe that health professionals who are more fully human and flourishing will be able to connect more fully with the humanity of their patients and to help them flourish as well. I refer to this approach as "humanizing medicine from the inside out." After completing the Harvard Macy Institute Art Museum-based Health Professions Education fellowship and becoming a certified Visual Thinking Strategies facilitator and coach, I have implemented and evaluated multiple art museum-based programs for all levels of health professions education (from pre-health professions students to practicing clinicians) locally, nationally, and internationally, all designed towards the ultimate goal of humanizing medicine.
