I am a pediatric psychologist and have spent my career specializing in helping children and their families manage the everyday stressors and impactful symptoms of anxiety, ADHD, depression, tantrums, and other challenging behaviors. I am also specialized in pediatric sleep issues.
I am passionate about health psychology and spent 10 years working in pediatric primary care offices, providing services for health-related issues typically brought to your child’s pediatrician, including sleep, potty training, bed wetting, tantrums, and adjustment to overall life changes. Working side-by-side with pediatricians provided me with an incredible opportunity to help families understand how body-health and psycho-social health complement each other and help overall healthy family functioning. Another area of specialty is in the area of perinatal psychology and maternal mental health, working with families as they adjust to new life as a parent.
I trained at one of the nations best hospitals for children, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, until relocating to South California were I became connected to CAYA Care. I strive to work with children and families to help provide evidence-based tools to improve overall functioning and healthy adjustment. I will help you identify primary concerns and develop skills to cope with these issues to get you and/or your child closer to your goals.
