Accepting new patients

No ratings to display.

Why aren't there any ratings?

There is no publicly available rating for this care provider for one of three reasons:

  1. They do not see patients.
  2. They see patients but have not yet received the minimum number of patient experience reviews. To be eligible for display, we require a minimum of 30 surveys. This ensures that the rating is statistically reliable and an accurate reflection of patient experience.
  3. They see patients but do not see enough patients to collect a statistically-reliable patient experience rating.

About me

I’m a developmental behavioral pediatrician who cares for children with:

  • Autism
  • Intellectual disabilities
  • Other developmental and learning differences

I provide comprehensive developmental assessments and medical consultations to help families better understand their child’s strengths and needs.

I strive to provide empathetic, holistic care that supports each child and their family. I love learning about what makes every child unique—especially when they share a fun fact or a new joke!

I was drawn to this field because I’ve seen firsthand the disparities that children with developmental disabilities often face, especially in rural and culturally diverse communities like the ones I grew up in. My goal is to improve access to care and support for every family, no matter where they live. I also work to empower primary care providers with education and resources so that more children can receive care close to home.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, son and cat. We love exploring the outdoors through hiking, backpacking and rock climbing. When indoors, I’m always up for a good strategic board game.

Insurance

Before scheduling an appointment

  1. Check your network. If you have health insurance,  call your company to find out if the OHSU Health location or provider you plan to visit is part of your network.
  2. Ask what you will pay. Your insurance company can tell you what your costs are likely to be.

If you schedule an appointment and your health insurance does not include OHSU Health, you may have to pay more than if you go to a provider in your insurance network.
