Family & Child Health Psychology 

Helping families adapt & thrive through health and psychological challenges

"When families are well, truly well, everything changes."-Dr. Adwoa

You Are in the Right Place

Individuals, parents, couples, caregivers, children, and families navigating medical complexity, disability, autism, neurodivergence, chronic health challenges, eating & food-related concerns, and family life transitions often carry a weight that is rarely seen and rarely supported. The impact reaches beyond the individual—it affects the entire family, including relationships, routines, and overall well-being. I am glad you are here, and I look forward to working with your family. 

If you are holding everything together while wondering how long you can keep this pace — this is for you.

​​

Health challenges do not affect only individuals—they affect families, relationships, routines, identity, and psychological well-being

My work helps families, parents & children adapt and thrive through those changes.
