About Me

From a young age, I was interested in how people learn and think differently and how this might change with age. I pursued a career as a neuropsychologist to help patients better understand their own strengths and challenges, then develop a plan for supporting their quality of life and academic, vocational, and social-emotional well-being. I particularly enjoy getting to spend more time with my patients than most providers are able to in the current healthcare landscape.

I specialize in the neuropsychological assessment and treatment of children, adolescents, and young adults with a variety of medical, neurological, genetic, psychiatric, and developmental conditions. Primary areas of interest include epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, spina bifida, cerebral palsy, sickle cell disease, oncology, and craniofacial conditions. I have also been involved with the evaluation and management of mild traumatic brain injury and sports-related concussions at the youth, high school, college, and professional levels.

In my spare time, I enjoy running, enjoying different food options in Durham, and spending time with family.

Clinical Focus and Research

My Research Interests

I am a co-investigator on a study through the Duke University School of Nursing that is developing a risk stratification model for children with concussion. Our goal is to help healthcare providers understand who is at more or less risk for complications after a concussion. For more information, please visit https://www.rsicc-study.com/.
