Introduction

I'm a board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrist. I have been a professor at University of Maryland, Maine Medical Center, Tufts, Children's Hosptial of the King's daughters/Old Dominion University. My specialty is in autism/developmental differences/neurodivergence. I've had numerous publications/presentations nationally and internationally in the areas of autism and graduate education. Thus far my career has been spent in academic, university hospital specialty units and outpatient programs. After years of working in this medical model, I'm very excited to start my own specialty practice so that I can better meet the needs of patients and families by focusing on the whole child and their family's values. If you'd like to learn more, please go to my website at www.aequavita.com and schedule a call. I look forward to working with you!
