Watching the unique way each child grows into the world from newborn to adult has been one of my deepest sources of wonder and joy. My own children have been my greatest teachers. During the many years of my general pediatric practice, my expertise in child development has offered thousands of parents a deeper way of understanding how to foster healthy cognitive and physical growth in their children.  

 While my current practice is no longer a primary care service, I do provide in-depth health consultations for parents who are seeking a more holistic approach to raising their children.  These appointments are designed to optimize your child’s growth and development. From newborn on up, I help parents discover their child’s unique nature, skills and gifts and learn how to be proactive in supporting them.  

I have adapted the Five Phase model of growth dynamics, based on the ancient wisdom of Chinese medicine, as a practical map to understand their own role in the dynamics of their child’s growth. In this way, parents learn to grow with their children and maximize their potential for success and fulfillment in the coming years ahead.
