I am passionate about providing comprehensive care for children and families, with a special focus on behavioral health and psychiatric services. My professional experience in rural healthcare, where resources are often limited, has shaped my approach and deepened my commitment to supporting children’s mental and developmental well-being. As a parent of a son with autism, I understand firsthand the challenges families face when navigating complex medical, educational and therapeutic systems. This personal insight allows me to connect with families on a deeper level and advocate for their needs with empathy and understanding.
Building long-term relationships with families is at the heart of my practice. I believe that effective care goes beyond treating medical symptoms—it’s about addressing the whole child, including their developmental and emotional needs.
