About

I use a collaborative, evidence-based approach to vaccine counseling, taking time to listen to each patient's concerns and provide personalized information about immunization schedules and vaccine safety. I specialize in helping patients navigate vaccine hesitancy, plan their immunizations across the lifespan, and make informed decisions that align with their health goals—all through secure telehealth video or phone consultations. Whether you're preparing for travel, managing immunocompromised vaccination needs, or simply want to understand your options better, I'm here to demystify vaccines and answer your questions thoroughly.

Services offered

I provide comprehensive vaccine counseling for patients of all ages, addressing common concerns about vaccine safety, efficacy, and scheduling. My approach combines motivational interviewing techniques with evidence-based medicine to help you feel confident in your immunization decisions. I work with patients managing vaccine hesitancy, those planning travel to areas requiring specific immunizations, immunocompromised individuals needing tailored vaccination strategies, and adults seeking catch-up or preventive immunizations for conditions like shingles, pneumonia, and seasonal flu. During a typical telehealth session, I review your medical history, discuss your specific concerns or questions, explain relevant vaccine options in clear language, and develop a personalized immunization plan that works for your lifestyle and health needs.
