As a board-certified pediatrician with over 20 years of experience in private practice, I’m excited to announce a paradigm shift away from general pediatrics to a more specialized focus on pediatric mental health. While I have always recognized the importance of the mind-body connection and the irrefutable influence that mental health has upon physical well-being, the onset of the Covid pandemic has unfortunately served as a catalyst for a burgeoning mental health crisis. Not surprisingly, my practice became increasingly focused on behavioral health and ultimately resulted in my shift to solely offering comprehensive pediatric mental health services.
Drawing on years of experience treating children and young adults with anxiety, depression, learning differences, and ADHD combined with additional training in cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness, I am well equipped to address a spectrum of mental health concerns. Beyond therapeutic interventions, my services extend to prescribing medication when needed and ensuring a comprehensive and tailored approach to your child’s mental health.
Recognizing the vital role of parents, I also offer support to families, providing guidance on effective parenting strategies and navigating the educational system to access essential services. Your child’s journey to well-being is a collaborative effort, and I am here to assist you every step of the way. I now accept patients up to the age of 30. If you are seeking personalized, comprehensive support for your child’s mental health, including therapy, medication, management, and family guidance, schedule an appointment today.
