When I evaluate children and adolescents, I look at the whole child and seek to understand how issues such as child temperament, environment, typical developmental phases and health issues are affecting the child’s life.

​

To better understand your child, I use standardized measures as well as looking subjectively at your child’s performance. I talk with parents, teachers and therapists to gain a full perspective. I observe children at school when necessary. I look for underlying medical or genetic conditions and help parents understand the connection between your child’s medical, environmental and developmental histories.

​

I recommend therapies, school programs and other resources as well as advocate with Regional Center and your child’s school district. I can recommend behavioral strategies and medications for your child when necessary. I provide ongoing support, assessment and guidance to children and families over time.
