Welcome to Our Practice

I founded Tri-State Developmental Pediatrics in 2019 to help children and families understand and manage their child’s developmental and behavioral challenges. We treat children and teens ages 0-21 years.

We believe that with early intervention and family-centered care, children will develop their full potential in school, at home, and in their communities.

We believe in the power of prevention and that no mental health or behavioral challenge is too small to intervene.

We aim to individualize our evaluations and behavior management approach to the needs of each child. Our small practice allows us to get to know each family and provide this level of care.

We use a holistic approach to treatment of developmental and behavioral concerns; helping children build their coping/ resilience skills, teaching parents behavior management approaches, optimizing therapies and community supports, and providing medication management when deemed beneficial.

If your child has a developmental, learning, or behavioral problem, a developmental pediatrician has the training and expertise to evaluate and care for your child. We possess training and experience to consider, in our assessments and treatments, the medical and psychosocial aspects of children’s and adolescents’ developmental and behavioral problems.
