My Work Experience

I was employed at Children’s Hospital of Minnesota from 1997-2019 and provided a broad range of neuropsychological services to both outpatient and inpatient medical populations.

I was a primary assessment supervisor for the psychology department’s APA-accredited Internship Program.

I have extensive experience working with children with:

  • Long-term effects of prematurity
  • Late effects of cancer treatments
  • Brain injury
  • Spina Bifida & Hydrocephalus
  • Cerebral Palsy (with cognitive concerns)
  • Craniofacial Syndromes
  • Genetic Disorders (e.g., 22q deletion syndromes, Neurofibromatosis Type 1, etc.)
  • Metabolic Disorders
  • Endocrine Anomalies
  • Prenatal infections/toxins
  • Learning Disability
  • ADHD
  • Nonverbal Learning Disability
  • Autism spectrum disorders
  • Developmental Delay/Intellectual Disability
  • Fetal alcohol or other prenatal drug effects

I work closely with the Minnesota school system and have been an invited speaker to a number of school districts to discuss the impact of neurological and developmental disorders on learning.

I am on a list of approved neuropsychologists who can complete Independent Educational Evaluations (IEE).
