It is a privilege to be a part of a family's journey from disability to wellness through my work as a pediatric psychologist in a pain rehabilitation setting. My treatment focuses on supporting children and families in the development of self-management skills for pain and stress with the goal of increasing a child's ability to engage in their life more fully. I utilize a collaborative approach, influenced by cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) interventions and an emphasis on the child as part of a larger system, including family, peers, school and community.
