Personal Bio
I believe every child deserves to be seen as a whole person, not simply a list of symptoms. As a primary care pediatrician with more than 30 years of experience, I take a family-centered approach to children’s mental health by combining my medical background with a thoughtful understanding of child development, behavior, learning, and everyday functioning.
My background in general pediatrics adds an important dimension to Indiana Health Group’s approach to caring for children’s mental health. Through decades of managing children’s overall health, I have developed a deep appreciation for the time and attention needed to understand the many factors that can contribute to emotional and behavioral concerns. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, I begin by identifying each child’s strengths, supports, and resilience, then build upon those foundations to create a personalized path forward.
My goal is to create a welcoming, unhurried environment where children feel comfortable and families have the time and space to share what matters most. I provide comprehensive mental health care, including diagnostic evaluations, medical assessments, medication management, follow-up care, pharmacogenetic testing when appropriate, and referrals to therapies that build on each child’s unique strengths. I also help evaluate concerns related to grief, trauma, changes in family dynamics, learning challenges, and mental health symptoms that may occur alongside medical conditions.
Families can expect a collaborative approach grounded in careful listening, evidence-based care, and clear communication. I use established diagnostic guidelines, motivational interviewing techniques, and practical, easy-to-understand explanations to help families feel informed and confident throughout the process. I believe the best outcomes come from teamwork, so I work closely with your child’s pediatrician and, when appropriate, therapists, specialists, and educators to ensure everyone is working toward the same goals.
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Biology from Purdue University and my medical degree from Indiana University School of Medicine. I completed my internship and pediatric residency at Riley Hospital for Children. I am a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics, serve as a delegate for the Indiana State Medical Association (ISMA), am a past president of the Indianapolis Medical Society, and currently serve as an ISMA trustee.
Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, playing tennis, gardening, traveling, and cooking—especially baking fresh sourdough bread to share with family and friends.
