I joined pediatric primary care at University of Vermont Medical Center in July of 2014. As a pediatrician, I work to facilitate the relationship between family and child and to maximize the health of every child. I enjoy working with expectant and new parents, managing the nuances of newborn care and getting them ready to parent in a gentle, affirmative and effective manner. I work with families to find solutions for children when they encounter behavioral issues by working with the child, the family, the school and any other ancillary services they receive.I also work closely in managing the care of refugee and immigrant patients at The New American Clinic.
