Get to Know Me

As a mother of four, I understand none of my kids grew up “by the book.” Being a mother has helped me be a better pediatrician. I am so thankful for my children and for my wonderful patients — they are the best teachers.

Why I Treat Children

I am a reflective person. Being around children allows me to take a step back and savor the small, meaningful moments of life. I get to welcome new life and joy with families. I love seeing the surprise and awe on a baby's face when he rolls over for the first time. I laugh when learning fun facts with a chatty child. I gush when I see sweet siblings read together. I am with families during their most joyous, but also their most vulnerable times. With children, I know my care can make a life-long impact. In medicine, everyday conversations are as important as the critical illnesses. I appreciate being able to guide and educate children and families in order to help these bright minds reach their full potential.

What I'm Passionate About

I have an affinity for children with special needs. I embrace diversity, learning about history and cultures, and appreciating our similarities and differences. I feel so fortunate that in medicine, I have the ability to constantly learn with and from families, continuously grow and evolve, and provide that knowledge to help others.

Make A Difference

As a pediatrician, I am honored to be a partner in your child's care. Always listening, my goal is to be able to provide families detailed information to help make the best medical decisions. I want to be a safe place for patients to share their concerns. Although a doctor's office can be a frightening place for a child, I try my best to relate to my patients and put them at ease.
