I enjoy working with pediatric patients across the lifespan, from toddlers with developmental delays to teens preparing for independent living. My approach is rooted in meeting children where they are and supporting them as they work toward their goals. I believe in a holistic approach that considers the needs of the family, the priorities of the child and the best available evidence to help each child achieve the highest level of independence.
My passion for medicine began early, shaped by growing up with family members who had various disabilities. Experiencing the medical world both first and second hand, I saw the profound impact that physicians, therapists and care team members can have on a family. That experience inspired me to become a supportive and caring team member in a child’s journey, just as others were for me and my family.
In my free time, I love to read and explore local coffee shops. I also enjoy golfing and spending time with my family and friends.
