About

I'm passionate about supporting families through those crucial early months and years of infant development. As a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner, I work closely with parents to address feeding challenges, growth concerns, and newborn care questions with compassion and evidence-based guidance. I'm committed to making quality infant care accessible through telehealth, so you can get the expert support you need from home.

Services offered

I provide comprehensive virtual care for infants from newborn through early childhood, specializing in feeding difficulties including breastfeeding challenges, bottle feeding optimization, and introduction to solids. I evaluate and manage common infant conditions such as reflux, colic, and feeding-related concerns that keep new parents up at night. During telehealth visits, I conduct detailed assessments of your infant's symptoms, growth patterns, and developmental progress, then work with you to develop personalized care plans and provide education on age-appropriate feeding techniques, sleep support, and developmental milestones. I also offer guidance on newborn transitions, vaccination questions, and general infant wellness concerns, treating each family with the individualized attention and empathy they deserve during this precious but sometimes overwhelming time.
