Clinical Interests
I have a particular interest in child and adolescent mental health and suicide screening and prevention efforts in the acute care setting.
Care Philosophy
I aim to provide evidence-based, high quality, compassionate, and equitable care to acutely ill or injured children. I take great pride in my role as a physician and aim to always treat families with respect and approach children with a calm and comforting demeanor during times of heightened stress or fear in the emergency setting.
