As a pediatrician at Park Nicollet, I have worked closely with children and their parents for more than 20 years. I enjoy helping them understand kids’ health issues as fully as possible and finding ways to support overall child development. This includes teaching my patients how to advocate effectively for themselves and their own well-being as they move toward adult life. I chose pediatrics so I could provide the perfect blend of educating kids and families about children’s health while also delivering quality health care.

I love providing this direct patient care to children of all ages. I also have the privilege of serving as the clinic’s Medical Director and as the Chair of the Park Nicollet Pediatrics Department. I grew up in Minnesota, attended the University of Minnesota Medical School and completed my pediatric residency in New York. When not at work, I like to spend time with my husband and our two children.
