Summary

  • I am a board certified pediatrician and boarded specialist in Child Development and behavior with expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of autism.
    I also counsel families who have problems with child behavior, especially disruptive behaviors associated with a family pattern of separation anxiety such as treating a child as "fragile" (vulnerable) due to perceived or real illness.
    I work with families and their frustrations as they navigate the school's IEP process and try to use the Early Intervention programs.
