Personal Statement
I am passionate about providing high-quality, evidence-based care that is clear and understandable, no matter how old my patients are. My ultimate goal is to provide each individual, including parents and caregivers, with the best tools and interventions to address current concerns and prevention and to improve knowledge about how to use them in the future.
I believe that the foundation for psychological health and wellness begins in childhood and that the best way to set up the child for success is through collaboration between psychological and medical providers and families.
