Psy.D., License PSY 17068
I have been a licensed psychologist testing children for an ASD for approximately 25 years. During this time, I have assessed around 6000 children, helping guide them toward the therapies they most need. In recent years, I have focused on evaluating children aged 18 months to 6 years. While many of these clients have been part of the California Regional Center system, I also assess children for Kaiser Permanente and conduct private evaluations. I believe the most effective assessments occur when families not only understand WHAT diagnosis applies to their child but WHY. Therefore, I prioritize educating families about various disorders, and together we explore the possibilities until we identify the most accurate diagnosis. Although I mainly reside in Lake Tahoe, I also have an office in Modesto and am happy to travel to a family’s home or school for an evaluation.
