The opportunity to spoil myself for the day with you and to share my story of my own growth and development with other women.

My fifties have been absolutely amazing years for me so far. I have learned so much about myself, have found my voice, and have become comfortable in my own skin. I have learned how important my mindset is with regard to finding happiness in the moment and honoring my own authenticity. I have struggled with anxiety since childhood, and this anxiety has challenged me in every way possible. As a parent, my anxiety skyrocketed. I wish that I could tell you that I enjoyed the earlier years with my two boys, but those years were the most challenging years of my life. I was in the thick of medical residency when I had them, and feel like those early years were a blur. Anxiety became my normal, and I lived my life in the highs and lows of feeling overwhelmed the majority of time.

When I completed my residency training and became a pediatrician, I became much more aware of the many parents that were also dealing with overwhelm due to anxiety. Whether the anxiety is long-standing or part of postpartum anxiety, anxiety can be significantly debilitating, particularly as a parent. Parenting with anxiety is so common, and I never realized just how common. Parenting is hard- with or without anxiety. As I became much more aware of how anxiety and parenting were so intertwined for so many just as it is for myself, I began to learn about parenting from a more conscious level. As I began to learn more about conscious parenting, I began to understand how these gentle parenting strategies address the parents mindset as well. These strategies allow the parent to learn to trust their own intuitive sense and find peace needed to not only parent authentically but also to find their way through anxiety as an empowered individual.

My strongest advocates have included my family, my Purely Pediatrics family Taylor and Kathy, and my wonderful friend and health coach Ami Patrick. Through discussion, support, and mindset work I have grown emotionally in a way that I never thought possible.

Anxiety has taught me how important it is to trust your intuition and to know that the answers you need are often inside of you.

Connection is the best way to support anyone with anxiety.

Purely Pediatrics, my private pediatric medical practice, has evolved into a truly supportive, caring environment for parents and children. The importance of mental health for the family is prioritized and addressed at every visit. I am honored to be able to serve the patients and families in this capacity, with the knowledge that I have gained with my own experiences.
