About Me

As a pediatric allergist, I'm honored to care for children from infancy through adolescence and to partner with families throughout their journey. While diagnosing rare and complex allergic and immune disorders is incredibly rewarding, I also find great fulfillment in helping families navigate everyday concerns, from teaching a child to use an inhaler with confidence to guiding parents through the introduction of allergenic foods.

I'm passionate about caring for children with asthma, food allergies, allergic rhinitis, eczema and other allergic conditions. My goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that empowers children and families with the knowledge and confidence to manage their health and thrive. I strive to ensure every family leaves feeling heard, informed and confident in their child’s care.

Outside of medicine, I enjoy traveling, exploring new cultures and cuisines, painting and spending quality time with my family. These experiences help me recharge and reinforce the values of curiosity, connection and balance that I bring to my practice every day.

I strive to ensure every family leaves feeling heard, informed and confident in their child’s care.
