Overview
I care for children and adolescents with rheumatic diseases, which are autoimmune and autoinflammatory conditions. These include juvenile idiopathic arthritis, lupus, myositis, scleroderma, and vasculitis. I am particularly interested in caring for those who have forms of juvenile myositis and am researching ways to understand and treat this spectrum of disease. I value listening to each patient’s individual story and strive to provide patient-centered care with the most evidence-based approach. I chose to specialize in pediatric rheumatology because it is an ever-changing field that allows me to learn from and form meaningful relationships with patients and their families. I love seeing patients get back to happy, healthy lives.

I treat all rheumatic diseases with a special interest and expertise in the management of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and antiphospholipid syndrome (APLS). I also have a focus in the area of adolescent and young adult health and am always eager to work with patients in this age group as they develop skills for independently managing their health and navigate the process of transferring from pediatric to adult rheumatology care. Having completed both adult and pediatric rheumatology fellowships, I am fortunate to be able to work with young adult rheumatology patients throughout their transition process.
