If you're wondering whether your child might be on the autism spectrum—or looking for a deeper understanding of their needs—I'm here to help.
I’m a child and adolescent psychiatrist with a special focus on working with children and teens with autism. I offer thoughtful, individualized evaluations using the CARS-2 (Childhood Autism Rating Scale, Second Edition), a trusted tool for diagnosing Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
While I don’t provide full neuropsychological testing, I can offer a clear clinical diagnosis of ASD that can help bring understanding, direction, and peace of mind. I also support families in navigating school accommodations like IEPs and 504 Plans, so kids can get the support they need to thrive.
An autism diagnosis can be a powerful step toward knowing your child better—and helping them feel seen, supported, and understood.
If you're ready to take that step, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
At this time, limited telehealth appointments are available, and in-person appointments at my Andover, MA office are booking out to July 2025.
If you were referred by someone, please feel free to include their name when reaching out — I always appreciate knowing the source of referrals.
