I specialize in providing diagnostic assessments and therapeutic services for children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental differences, including autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and intellectual developmental disorder. I also support children who experience challenges such as disruptive behaviors, adaptive functioning difficulties, executive functioning concerns, and mood or anxiety issues. My care philosophy is rooted in a collaborative, culturally responsive approach. I believe every child has unique strengths that can be harnessed to foster growth and resilience, and I strive to partner closely with families—honoring their values, cultural identities, and lived experiences—to build a holistic understanding of each child’s profile.
I was drawn to this field because I find immense joy in connecting with children and their families, celebrating their individuality, and providing them with tools to build toward long-term resilience, autonomy and self-advocacy. There’s something profoundly rewarding about empowering a child to see their potential, not in spite of their differences, but because of them, and supporting their journey with compassion and unwavering belief in their growth and potential.
In my free time I enjoy running, biking, hiking, taking my dog on long walks and spending time with my family and friends.
