About

Biography

I specialize in adolescent and young adult medicine, with a focus on young men's health, mood and mental health disorders, primary care for adolescents, LGBTQ+ health, and community medicine. My approach to patient care is centered around shared decision-making and empowerment. I believe in partnering with my patients to help them reach their goals, increasing their agency and autonomy in their healthcare journey.

My goal is to help young people navigate their health and well-being during critical stages of their lives. I am committed to providing patient-centered care that respects each individual's unique needs and circumstances. By working closely with families, I aim to create a supportive environment where adolescents feel heard and valued.

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy going to the movie theater, watching TV, reading books, staying active, cooking and playing with my golden retriever.
