Research Interests
My research interests are primarily focused on the way in which hormones such as estrogen and testosterone influence the development of headache in puberty as well as the changes in brain structure and function that show us how this development happens. A particular group of patients in which I study this is transgender youth, with my primary research technique involving imaging of the brain using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Clinical Interests
My primary clinical interest is in headache, but I also treat other neurologic conditions in children such as epilepsy.
Care Philosophy
Headache is a complex disorder and every patient develops headache by a different pathway, featuring their own unique genes, social factors, hormones, and environment. To ensure the best treatment of my patients, I strive to identify these factors and in combination with current scientific evidence on headache treatment, develop the best plan for the child and family to reduce the burden of headache.
