About Me

I specialize in the early diagnosis of developmental delay, intellectual disability, and autism spectrum disorder. Every child and family has unique needs, and I strive to ensure they feel supported and understood throughout their developmental journey.

Building strong, trusting relationships with my pediatric patients and their families is important to me. I work closely with families to gather meaningful information and tailor care to each child’s individual strengths and challenges.

Access to developmental care, education, and resources is essential, and I’m committed to helping families navigate these systems. I collaborate with a dedicated team to enhance the overall health care experience for the children we serve.

Family involvement is also a cornerstone of effective care. I prioritize education and support for caregivers, recognizing how vital their role is in a child’s development and well-being.

Teaching is a big part of what I do. I enjoy engaging with other clinicians and learners to share knowledge, improve care, and foster a more informed and supportive health care environment for all.
