Rooted in more than 15 years of experience in clinical psychology, this expert specializes in clinical neuropsychology with a focus on pediatric through young adult populations. Her areas of expertise include neuropsychological assessment of developmental disabilities such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, learning and language disorders, autism spectrum disorder, and neurodevelopmental conditions associated with prenatal alcohol exposure, as well as psychiatric conditions including mood and anxiety disorders and medical and neurological conditions such as traumatic brain injury, seizure disorders, and brain tumors. Her work incorporates comprehensive, evidence-based evaluation methods, including standardized testing, structured interviews, informant questionnaires, and records review, and she utilizes specialized diagnostic tools such as the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2) and Autism Diagnostic Interview–Revised (ADI-R) when appropriate to support diagnostic clarity.

Her professional practice centers on conducting detailed neuropsychological evaluations across clinical, educational, and developmental contexts, including specialized assessments for preschool-aged children that integrate play-based observation, cognitive and behavioral evaluation, and analysis of parenting strategies. She maintains a private practice focused on pediatric and young adult populations while also providing integrated neurobehavioral care coordination, working with multidisciplinary providers to develop and prioritize evidence-based intervention strategies. Her clinical and academic background includes neuropsychological work within medical and research settings, as well as completion of a National Institutes of Health–funded postdoctoral fellowship focused on the neurocognitive and social effects of prenatal alcohol exposure, supporting both her clinical expertise and research foundation.

Her academic and professional contributions include serving as a voluntary clinical instructor in neuropsychology, supporting training and supervision in medical psychology assessment programs, along with authorship and co-authorship of peer-reviewed publications and a clinical reference book on neurodevelopmental conditions. She is licensed as a clinical psychologist and holds a doctoral degree in clinical psychology with a specialization in neuropsychology, supported by internship training in clinical child psychology and advanced postdoctoral training in neuropsychology. Professional affiliations include membership in organizations such as the American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology, the American Psychological Association Division of Clinical Neuropsychology, and the National Academy of Neuropsychology, reflecting continued engagement in clinical standards, research, and professional practice within the field.
