“I am passionate about helping children overcome pain.”

My Approach

It’s hard as a parent to see your child in pain before and after surgery, and beyond. During training, watching children suffer was heartbreaking for me, and I realized that pain is often a main worry for kids and parents. I wanted to help improve that, so I chose to focus my career on pain management in children. My goal is to help your child overcome acute or chronic pain through a multipronged approach.

When working with me, you will find that I really listen and notice details to get to the crux of your child’s pain, including looking at outside factors, such as poor sleep, that contribute to the pain. I take a deep dive to understand your child’s challenges and make adjustments, both large and small, that help lessen your child’s pain. Overcoming pain can be empowering for your child, and I am honored to help them step back into life with confidence.
