Kids grow so quickly, and I love helping them learn to be successful along every step of the way—whether it’s eating vegetables, staying active or finding what they enjoy. And parents are a big part of that discovery, too. As a pediatrician, I want to have honest relationships with families, which allows me to be the best advocate for children that I can be.

My care philosophy is to “just keep swimming.” I want to inspire children and families to make small positive changes in their lives that can lead to a lifetime of lasting health and happiness. I practice general pediatrics, and especially enjoy speaking with families about nutrition and mental health, as well as behavioral goals and developmental milestones. A special and unique service I provide is earlobe piercings.

I decided I wanted to be a pediatrician when I was 5 years old. I still cherish my relationship with my pediatrician and her impact on my life. She treated me holistically, not just focusing on my physical health, but on every aspect of my life and wellness. I want to provide that same care for every child I encounter, so they have the best opportunity to live a full, fruitful life.

I love to be active with my friends and family when I'm not working. When the weather and time permit, you can find me enjoying physical activities outdoors! Each day, my solace is working out at a local spin class, listening to music, reading, trying a new recipe or watching HGTV.
