My Specialties
I am a clinical neuropsychologist specializing in pediatrics. I see children, adolescents, and adults with a variety of medical, genetic, and developmental conditions such as epilepsy, neurofibromatosis, traumatic brain injury, brain tumors, and other conditions which affect the way the brain functions. Through non-invasive testing, a clinical neuropsychologist assesses things like intellectual functioning, academic skills, attention, memory, visual-perception and construction skills, and executive functions such as problem solving, reasoning, and inhibition. My goal is to help individuals live more productive and satisfying lives by providing them with tools to compensate for their weaknesses, capitalize on their strengths, and maximize outside resources from which they may benefit.
In addition to this, I run the Youth Sports Concussion Program which provides concussion education, and baseline and post-injury cognitive testing to middle and high school athletes playing high risk sports. To learn more, see the links to the left.
I am also the Director of Training for our neuropsychology postdoctoral program. For more information about this program, please visit our website at Residency Program
My Practice Philosophy
I believe strongly in prevention, early intervention, and providing individuals and families with knowledge and the tools needed to apply that knowledge. I am committed to the training of new neuropsychologists to further advance our field and continue to develop Kaiser Permanente's program.

My Tenure with Kaiser Permanente
I have been a part of Kaiser Permanente since 2005.
