About
I offer trainings, keynotes, and consultations on trauma-informed care, early relational health, and practice-based interventions to promote resilience and relational health in pediatric practice. As a practicing pediatrician with 25 years of experience, I offer practical support to help transform your practice in your journey towards becoming trauma-informed. You’ll find this kind of practice transformation to be invigorating to your practice, and you’ll find more meaning in the work you do on a day-to-day basis. No matter where you are in your trauma-informed journey, I can help you take the next steps toward improving the lives of the children under your care.
Not a pediatrician? I’ve worked with school-based systems, community organizations, parents, and other professionals who work with children. Trauma shows up in the professional lives of everyone who cares for kids, so I can help you to recognize it, respond to it, and equip you to help every child build resilience.
