I have been practicing holistic, integrative pediatrics in the San Francisco Bay Area and Marin County for more than twenty years. Having grown up in the Bay Area, I was introduced to alternative and preventive approaches to health at a young age, which helped shape my belief that truly caring for children means looking at the whole child — body, mind, and environment.

I attended medical school at George Washington University in Washington, DC, a program well known for its strength in primary care, and completed my pediatric residency at UCSF. I was honored to be selected as Chief Resident at UCSF for an additional year, where I focused on teaching and mentoring while deepening my clinical experience.

Early in my career, I worked as both a nursery and pediatric hospitalist while concomittantly pursuing additional training in integrative medicine. Over the past two decades, I have incorporated nutrition, functional medicine testing, herbal medicine, homeopathy, and traditional Chinese medicine into my pediatric practice. My goal has always been to combine the best of modern Western medicine with thoughtful, evidence-informed integrative approaches.

This blended approach allows me to care for each child in a way that is both comprehensive and personalized. I maintain close relationships with excellent pediatric specialists throughout the Bay Area and Marin, and when specialty care is needed, I help guide families to the right expert. Together, we focus on finding solutions that feel truly aligned with each child and family I care for.

As both a pediatrician and the mother of two school-aged children, I understand how hard many parenting decisions can feel. I aim to offer guidance that helps families feel supported and confident in caring for their children.
