Children grow up so fast, and sometimes, there can be rough water along the way. Helping families and their children to navigate those rocky waters is both a privilege and an honor.

To have the chance to work with amazing colleagues, to learn from literally everyone I encounter, and always to be thinking about how best to improve the mental health and wellness of young people – these are the things that make my work as a child psychiatrist so rewarding and deeply fulfilling.

I specialize in depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, medical education and medical humanities.

I want patients to know that I will listen carefully, thoughtfully and empathically to their stories. After all, way before we had textbooks and diagnostic criteria, we had our tales to tell.
