“I became a child psychiatrist because I believe that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive emotionally, socially and academically. Mental health challenges can feel overwhelming for both children and their families, but with the right support, growth and healing are possible. My goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that helps children and adolescents build resilience, develop healthy coping skills and gain confidence in themselves. I am passionate about working alongside families to create a path forward that fosters long-term well-being.”
