Description

As a child psychologist, I work with children and adolescents with a broad range of mood, anxiety, and behavioral disorders. I also specialize in evaluating and treating individuals with neurodevelopmental disabilities. This includes autism spectrum disorder, specifically those with autism and co-occurring mental health needs. I strive to increase access to evidence-based mental health care. I use treatment approaches with strong research support. My approach to care is primarily behavioral and cognitive-behavioral. I view health as an interaction between biological, psychological, and social factors. As such, I collaborate with families, schools, and other providers to provide family-centered, interdisciplinary care.
