Personal Statement

I am a licensed pediatric psychologist who specializes in treating youth and families managing acute and chronic illnesses. In my practice, I prioritize the delivery of high-quality, evidence-based treatment to ensure the best possible outcomes for my patients. However, I also recognize the importance of meeting families where they are, acknowledging their unique circumstances, and tailoring interventions accordingly. Building a warm and friendly rapport with families is essential to me, as it creates a foundation of trust and collaboration. This allows me to effectively address any barriers to treatment adherence and support families in navigating the challenges they may encounter along the way. By combining evidence-based practices with compassionate care, I aim to empower families to achieve meaningful progress and improve their overall well-being.
