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 am a pediatric psychologist specializing in the assessment and treatment of children and teenagers with neurodevelopmental disorders, particularly autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and ADHD. My clinical and research interests focus on understanding these disorders' behavioral and biological indicators to enhance precision medicine.

I enjoy working with families from diverse backgrounds and believe that patients are the best experts on themselves. I practice affirming care, where we celebrate individual strengths.

In my free time, I enjoy hiking, sailing and spending time with my dogs.

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.
