I am a licensed pediatric neuropsychologist who specializes in the treatment and support of neurodivergent children, adolescents, and young adults. I have been fortunate to be part of different multidisciplinary treatment teams in various inpatient and outpatient settings. I have long provided comprehensive evaluations to assess for neurodevelopmental differences such as ADHD, autism, and specific learning differences.
I also work with children who have medical diagnoses such as epilepsy or who have sustained a traumatic brain injury - to provide a baseline assessment and track their progress. I understand the important impact of anxiety, mood, sleep, sensory overwhelm, and behavior on every individual’s presentation and I will strive to help you understand your whole child- not just through scores but from a holistic lens.
I have been in private practice for over twenty-five years I completed my research internships at UCSF. First, with a focus on infant attachment and temperament, and then with a focus on pediatric epilepsy. I did my clinical internship in neuropsychology at UAMS and completed a fellowship in pediatric neuropsychology at Arkansas Children’s Hospital.
My goal is to really get to know your child and to help them find their light. In addition to the detailed information I provide about the tests and their performance, I share qualitative observations, summaries in easy to read language, and examples of your child's responses to make the findings more tangible. I also include resources and research in case you want to learn more, extensive referrals and recommendations for the home and school settings, and help you prioritize next steps.
Lastly, my most important experience has come from parenting my two amazing boys, who provide constant reminders that I always has more to learn!
