About me
I am a child & adolescent psychiatrist with over 20 years of experience treating children with anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, and behavior problems.
Throughout my career I've also had the opportunity to work extensively with children and adolescents on the autism spectrum, which has deepen my appreciation for neurodiversity and reinforced my belief that meaningful care begins with understanding each individual's unique perspective, abilities, and needs. I am also passionate about providing affirming, compassionate care to LGBTQIA+ youth and their families. I believe every young person deserves to feel safe, respected, and supported as they express their authentic self. I want the patients I work with to know that they're not alone, that their experiences matter, and that there's always hope for growth, healing, and a brighter future. I'm also dedicated to working with parents by providing education, support, advice, and resources to help ensure the best outcomes for their children and family as a whole.
