About Me
As a pediatric neuropsychologist, my initial training is in clinical psychology, but I have specialization in brain development and the impact of different medical conditions on brain development. Patients are referred to me because their medical course may have altered their path. My goal in working with each one of them, though, is to find their strengths as much as their challenges.
