Banner Health Center

My approach to care is holistic. I view the family unit as essential to the health and well-being of every child. I know that a child's physical health is intimately interconnected to his or her mental, emotional and spiritual health. I understand that your role as a parent is vital and that you are your child's MOST important teacher and life advocate. I also understand that family life is messy! In the middle of the mess, however, is exactly where a child learns love, trust, boundaries, tolerance, mercy, grace, forgiveness, and reconciliation. I am a mother of 5 children, 2 of whom were adopted from the foster system. Having said that, I have a lot of not only professional experience, but personal experience treating a wide variety of medical and behavioral challenges. I seek to listen compassionately and support both you and your child in whatever way I can. I feel privileged to be a part of your journey!

I believe patient education is paramount. I will strive to help my patients understand their problem, the options we have to treat it and use an evidence based approach to help them decide what is best for them individually.

I believe in providing evidence base medical care to my patients by forming trusting partnerships.
