Clinical Interest for Patients
Our clinic is a regional trusted resource for families and community providers who have concerns about abuse or neglect.
Care Philosophy
Family and child evaluation for suspected maltreatment must always include family support and education about the behavioral and emotional impacts of child maltreatment. My pediatric based approach is always family centered care, delivered with sensitivity and empathy. The journey from trauma through recovery is one that I walk with patients of all ages and their caregivers.
