I'm a licensed clinical psychologist who works with children, adolescents, young adults, and parents using customized treatment plans. I have special expertise supporting those affected by medical conditions, and I know how to help with medical behaviors (e.g., pill swallowing, needle phobia, staying motivated with complicated medical plans). I'm passionate about providing high-quality, evidence-based care, and am committed to continued learning of the most cutting edge therapies that can help my clients reach their full potential.
