As a shy child, I often wondered why I was quiet while others weren’t. That early curiosity about what shapes a child’s nature eventually led me to pediatrics.

Over the years, my favorite part of being a pediatrician has always been the trusting bonds I build with my patients and their families.

When my own child was diagnosed with neurodiversity, despite my training, I found myself overwhelmed, lost, and frustrated trying to navigate the complex path to help him thrive.

Through this personal journey, my curiosity deepened. I continue to wonder what shapes a child’s development - typical or otherwise - and how I can support each child’s unique potential using conventional and holistic modalities. 

I’ve realize there are many families walking a similar path, searching for someone who truly understands. It would be my honor to walk alongside you, to listen, to guide, and to help your child move forward towards a future filled with hope and possibility.
