Worried about your child's development or behavior? I am a licensed psychologist, specializing in early childhood assessment and the evaluation and diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in young children. I help families to better understand their child’s strengths and needs by conducting comprehensive psychological, developmental, and diagnostic evaluations. I offer a warm and welcoming testing environment, explain evaluation results with clarity and compassion, and connect families with quality local resources.
I have over 20 years of experience and have conducted thousands of evaluations for toddlers and preschoolers in home, clinic, and school settings. I am passionate about early diagnosis and see children as young as 18 months of age for autism diagnostic testing.
You know your child best! If you are concerned about your child's development or behavior, reach out for a free consultation. I strive to maintain low wait times for assessment and quick report turnaround, giving families answers as quickly as possible and helping children to access needed intervention services without delay.
