My Approach

I am both a pediatric pulmonologist and sleep specialist, so I have the opportunity to care for a diverse group of patients with a variety of health issues. I provide care for patients starting from when they're neonates up until they're adults. I enjoy educating patients, families and communities about how to best partner with their medical team to optimize our patients' health and quality of life. I strive to empower patients and families to feel that we are all part of a team working to achieve the best outcome. Everyone should feel like they're part of the solution.

When I see patients who have a sleep issue, I blend traditional sleep medicine with integrative medicine principles to offer a holistic approach to treating sleep disorders in children. I work to provide personalized care that addresses not only the physical but also the emotional and environmental factors affecting sleep. These can include discussion about nutrition, stress management, and exercise.
