My goal as an integrative and functional pediatrician is to help families and children have better and healthier lives. I have been a pediatrician for several decades and have been treating with an integrative/functional medicine approach for children and now adults with chronic health conditions since 2005. My focus began helping children with autism spectrum disorders and ADHD and has expanded to treating both children and adults with multiple chronic health conditions. Throughout this time, I have also written a book focusing on preconception and pregnancy to help women have a healthier baby, published research papers, written articles, and given presentations on many health topics to both health care practitioners and parents. It has been an amazing journey of learning and teaching and helping families. I feel fortunate to have learned so much and to continue educating and helping families and children recover from chronic illness. This website shares some of my written work and my presentations to continue to educate people. I am also seeing patients through my telemedicine practice in addition to seeing patients in Colorado.
