Combining my passion for helping others with my interest in pediatric neurology and my sub-specialization in epilepsy has been incredibly rewarding. I’m fascinated by the unknowns of neuroscience and excited about the advancements in therapies and treatments. But more than that, I value the human aspect of care. Healing isn’t just about treatments—it’s about learning your child’s story.

Children’s joy and energy are gifts to us as caregivers and parents, and I feel a strong responsibility to protect and nurture that spirit. My visits are centered around listening and engaging with the children, and I believe it’s essential to treat each family as individuals. I always prioritize the child and focus on helping parents feel less fearful, especially when they’re at a neurologist’s office, which can be intimidating.

I see myself as your specialist, and when there is a gray area, you and your child will help guide us together. My goal is to help everyone see beyond the diagnosis, to demystify the condition and make you feel more comfortable and knowledgeable. After all, this is your child, and there’s something profoundly sacred about parenting. I want to support that journey in every way I can.
