Overview

Services

I am a pediatric neuropsychologist who works with families to understand the relationship between their child’s behavior, thinking skills, and medical condition(s). My approach is family- and patient- centered, working with caregivers and their children to understand current concerns in order to provide appropriate supports. While I work with a variety of medical and neurodevelopmental conditions, my expertise is in the evaluation and care of young children under the age of 6 years and individuals with genetic disorders and/or sensory-motor challenges.  My research focuses on the parent-child relationship so that we can better understand family systems related to child outcomes. I am also interested in better understanding the relationship between child development and the timing of neuropsychological intervention as they relate to patient outcomes.
