Hello and welcome! I’m a dreamer, author, and psychologist who revels in science and creativity. I work as a licensed Clinical Pediatric Neuropsychologist which means I learn a lot about neurodevelopmental diversity like ADHD, Learning Disabilities, and Autism every day from kids, teens, and their families. I also write children's books and make art. Thanks for dropping by. You can learn more about my books, art, and a brand new journey into one of my favorite topics (memory!) right here. You can also find me on Instragram @psych4thought where I review books, talk about brain science, and explore everything else in psychology that inspires me.
