About my practice
I am a pediatric headache specialist dedicated to providing comprehensive treatment for children suffering from chronic migraine and tension-type headaches. My practice is located in Harrison, Westchester County, NY and serves children and teens from nearby communities including Ardsley, Briarcliff, Bronxville, Chappaqua, Dobbs Ferry, Irvington, Harrison, Larchmont, Mamaroneck, New Rochelle, Pelham, Rye, Scarsdale, White Plains and surrounding areas. My practice's mission is to enhance the quality of life for every child through a holistic approach tailored to their unique situation.
Far too frequently, modern medicine involves rushed visits and prescriptions thrown at every symptom. My practice departs from that norm. Visits are extremely comprehensive and I will take the time to partner with you, to identify root causes of your child or teen's headaches and treat them as holistically as possible. I utilize evidence-based medicine in conjunction with Integrative Medicine techniques to address your child's unique needs. Before our first appointment, I will review detailed information you provide so that I can start our visit with a clear picture of your child's needs and we can get beyond the basics. Our 90 minute consultation will be a chance for us to explore in depth your child's medical history and current symptoms, and to develop a holistic approach to care. We will develop a tailored treatment plan that may include:
- Evidence-based medications when appropriate
- Integrative therapies such as nutrition, mindfulness or relaxation strategies
- Lifestyle guidance for long-term headache prevention.
My goal is not just to reduce symptoms, but to help your child thrive at home, in school and socially.
I offer in person visits, telehealth appointments across NY State, and house calls, making care accessible and family friendly.
What is Integrative Medicine?
Integrative Medicine incorporates conventional medicine and complementary therapies to treat the whole person. It takes into account the myriad of factors influencing wellness including nutrition, the physical environment, exercise, sleep, interpersonal relationships, mindfulness and the mind body connection to achieve optimal health and healing. Integrative medicine encompasses a wide spectrum of healthcare practices including herbal remedies, meditation, yoga, massage and acupuncture which a patient may be referred to in order to promote wellness. In integrative medicine, the patient and the practitioner are partners in the healing process.
