My philosophy as a neurologist specializing in movement disorders is rooted in a deep commitment to putting patients first—treating each individual with compassion, respect and personalized attention. I strive to see beyond the diagnosis, understanding how conditions like Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, tremor, ataxia and Huntington’s Disease among others affect not only motor function but also emotional, social and cognitive well-being. My approach emphasizes clear communication, collaborative decision-making, and empowering patients and their families with education and support. I believe in tailoring treatment plans to each person’s unique goals and circumstances, blending evidence-based therapies with a holistic understanding of quality of life. Above all, I aim to build trusting, long-term relationships with my patients, advocating for their needs and helping them navigate the challenges of their disease with dignity and hope.
I enjoy spending time with my husband, two cats and our dog Buffy. In my free time I enjoy hiking, cycling, reading and embroidery.
