About
I love to first work with children and their families early in life, as close to the injury or disease onset as possible to help the family understand how to optimize the child’s development. Many factors influence brain development and functions including genetic makeup, family factors, culture, socioeconomic well-being, and educational opportunities in addition to neurological or medical disorders. While basic cognitive abilities are very important, and at the core of a neuropsychological evaluation, I try to also help families understand how to help their children function best at home, in school, socially, and in their community. I also try and help each child and family remove racial, financial or cultural barriers to their success through maintaining quality education and ideal medical care. I enjoy working with children starting at a young age, then helping them throughout their childhood and transitioning them into early adulthood. I love to see my patients develop to be content with who they are, productively using their strengths, and as independent as possible.
Our clinic is located on the 2nd floor of the Children's Wisconsin Clinics Building at 8920 W. Connell Court. Please check in at Suite 210 at the Neurosciences front desk.
