Clinical Interests
My clinical interests within the broad umbrella of family-centered care includes maternity care, pediatric care from newborn through adolescence, women's health and contraception counseling, and improving functional movement at any age.

Care Philosophy
I see myself as a health and wellness consultant who considers the patient as a whole person living within their greater bio-psycho-social context. I strive to respect the autonomy of the individual by engaging in shared decision making with my patients to improve health and maintain wellness in alignment with their personal goals.
