My care philosophy
I believe effective care begins with understanding each child within the context of their strengths, needs, relationships, and environment. My approach integrates behavioral science and evidence-based psychological interventions within a neurodiversity-affirming, individualized framework. I strive to partner with families and interdisciplinary care teams to understand the factors contributing to a child's challenges, build meaningful skills, and identify practical strategies that improve quality of life. I value compassionate, collaborative care that respects each child's individuality, supports caregivers, and promotes access to the right services at the right time.

Experience and background
My clinical interests focus on the assessment and treatment of complex mental health needs among children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism and intellectual and developmental disabilities. I specialize in evidence-based behavioral and psychological interventions for co-occurring psychiatric conditions and challenging behaviors, particularly for youth requiring intensive or specialized behavioral health services. I am also interested in improving access to high-quality, individualized care and advancing clinical program development, interdisciplinary collaboration, and workforce training to better support neurodiverse youth and their families.
