What I want my patients to know about me:

I feel it is important to know and have a relationship with my patients. I want to learn about you personally. What are your likes, dislikes and what makes you happy?
In addition to general pediatrics (PNP-BC), I have certification as a pediatric primary care mental health specialist (PMHS) through the Pediatric Nurse Certification Board (PNCB). I diagnose and treat common mental health, behavior and developmental disorders of childhood such as ADHD, anxiety, and mild to moderate depression.

What I do when I'm not seeing patients:

When not working, I am spending most of my time with family and friends. My two young daughters and our dog keep me busy. We like our outside time. While I like to be active, I think it is as important to simply observe and listen to nature. I prefer experiences over materials. I love to cook, a trait inherited from my mother and grandmothers.
