About

Headaches are common, yet the causes are highly individual. That's why it’s important to establish a collaborative, trusting relationship with my patients that involves shared decision-making.

Treating headaches often involves many aspects of a person's life. The psychological and social components of headaches, especially in women, drew me to this field. I'm also fascinated by how migraines are treated during pregnancy, lactation, and menstruation.
