About
I use evidence-based counseling techniques and motivational interviewing to help patients work through vaccine concerns and build confidence in their immunization decisions. My approach combines personalized education about vaccine schedules, side effects, and disease prevention with careful listening to address individual health beliefs and hesitations. I'm board-certified in vaccine counseling and offer flexible telehealth consultations via secure video or phone to help you or your family make informed choices about immunizations.
Services offered
I provide comprehensive telehealth vaccine counseling for patients of all ages—from new parents navigating childhood immunization schedules to adults planning travel or managing chronic conditions that affect vaccine eligibility. During our secure video or phone sessions, I review your personal and family medical history, discuss specific vaccines relevant to your age and lifestyle, explain how vaccines work and what side effects to expect, and address your particular concerns with current medical evidence. I specialize in working with vaccine-hesitant patients using collaborative, non-judgmental techniques that respect your questions while emphasizing disease prevention. Whether you're considering flu shots, COVID-19 boosters, HPV vaccination, shingles prevention, pneumonia protection, or immunizations for international travel, I help you understand your options and make decisions aligned with your health goals.
