About Me

I provide psychiatric care to children with neurodevelopmental differences such as autism or intellectual disability. I strive to provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment planning, addressing medication needs for co-occurring psychiatric conditions as well as working with families, caregivers, therapists and other medical providers, school systems and other supports to help my patients flourish. In addition to serving as a psychiatrist in the Duke Center for Autism and Brain Development, I am a researcher investigating novel tools to measure neurodevelopmental differences. I enjoy working with interdisciplinary teams, clinically and in research.

Clinical Focus and Research

My Research Interests

My overarching research goal is to develop objective, relevant biomarkers to allow for more effective development and testing of novel therapies for the challenges experienced by people with neurodevelopmental differences. I conduct translational research in preclinical models and with individuals and their families to bridge the gap between neuroscience discoveries and clinically relevant research.
