About

Biography

I am a pediatric psychologist who provides brief interventions and preventive care in a primary care setting. I serve as a resource for patients and their families about sleep, eating, emotions and behavior. I also help parents understand what to expect as their child develops.

I believe that every family has their own unique strengths that help them succeed in their goals, and I tailor my approach to meet families where they are.

I love working with infants and young children because they are growing and developing so quickly. I believe everyone has the right to grow up to be their strongest, smartest self, and I feel privileged to work with families to help their children do just that.

In my spare time I enjoy hiking, watching scary movies and spending time with my family.
