I am a warm, kind, board-certified pediatrician with over a decade of experience in traditional outpatient pediatric clinics. I have transitioned from the conventional model of care to offer two main services: direct primary care (DPC) and integrative pediatric mental health consultations— both of which allow me sufficient time to care for each unique child and family.
I am committed to moving beyond a universal, symptom-based treatment model to create personalized plans that address each child’s unique biological, lifestyle, and environmental factors. I am dedicated to helping children thrive and love working with families to achieve this goal.
In addition to my general pediatrics training, I have completed the REACH Institute’s Patient-Centered Mental Health in Primary Care mini-fellowship, which focused on evidence-based training in pediatric mental health care. I have pursued additional scientific- and evidence-based training focused on understanding and treating the root causes of mental illness via Psychiatry Redefined’s Pediatric Functional Psychiatry Fellowship. I have partnered with IntellxxDNA to provide testing for neurodevelopmental conditions, such as autism spectrum disorder, to help identify root causes and tailor treatments based on individual genomic factors.

I earned my medical degree from the University of Mississippi School of Medicine in 2010 and completed a three-year pediatric residency at the University of Chapel Hill in 2013. I became board-certified in pediatrics in 2013 and have actively participated in maintenance of certification (MOC) activities ever since.
