About

I specialize in helping patients navigate vaccine decisions through evidence-based counseling and personalized immunization planning. Using motivational interviewing techniques, I address vaccine hesitancy by exploring concerns, discussing clinical data, and building confidence in vaccination choices. I'm board-certified and available via secure telehealth video or phone to guide patients through their immunization journey at any life stage.

Services offered

I provide comprehensive vaccine counseling for patients across all ages, from newborns through seniors, addressing specific health concerns and life circumstances. My approach combines evidence-based medicine with motivational interviewing to help patients understand vaccine schedules, evaluate their individual risk factors, and make informed decisions aligned with their values. I treat vaccine hesitancy, immunization gaps, and complex situations like immunocompromised vaccination needs and travel health requirements. During telehealth sessions, I review your medical history, discuss any previous vaccine reactions or concerns, explain the science behind recommended immunizations, and answer questions in detail to ensure you feel confident moving forward with your vaccination plan.
