Pediatric Neuropsychologist
Pediatric Neuropsychologist
I am a pediatric neuropsychologist, licensed clinical psychologist, and Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist (ASDCS). I offer a personalized approach to neuropsychological assessments for children and young adults, covering mental health, learning differences, and cognitive issues.
I maintain a private practice and am employed at Stanford Medicine, Children's Health, where I see Stanford patients and assess the neuropsychological effects of medical conditions.
In my private practice, I see clients with learning difficulties, autism, anxiety, emotional disorders, and developmental disorders. I also provide neutral support for individuals, families, and schools.
Please reach out to see if I am a good fit for your needs. Warmly, Christian
My main focus is to assist individuals in gaining a better understanding of their strengths and weaknesses, current functioning, and how these factors impact their performance in school, work, or daily activities. I aim to help you grow, process your concerns, and move to where you want to be.
I aim to help you feel more empowered and aware of your strengths. I achieve this by offering a neutral, safe space, active listening, and creating a personalized neuropsychology treatment plan.
Neuropsychology is a subspecialty of clinical psychology that specializes in diagnosing and treating individuals with disorders related to cognitive, academic, learning, social, emotional, or other developmental issues.
A neuropsychologist has extensive knowledge of the brain-behavior relationship, including an understanding of areas such as neurocognitive functioning, neuroanatomy, neurological illness, neurological injury, neurodevelopment, neuropsychological tests, emotional disorders, behavioral disturbances, and the management/treatment of impaired individuals.
