Hello, I’m Dr. Addai. My specialty is working with children with chronic medical illnesses (e.g. diabetes, asthma, seizure disorders), developmental differences (e.g. delayed speech, cerebral palsy), or after an accident. I also work with their parents since children’s medical conditions can impact their whole families’ schedules, interactions, and stress levels. As a pediatric psychologist, I focus on working with children ages 3-18, young adults ages 18-23, and parents of children ages 0-23.

I have a warm, collaborative, open-minded approach to therapy with a focus on understanding all the different aspects of you and your child’s experiences with the medical condition within your family, school, culture, and community. I will work with both your child and you in therapy, with the focus being on the child.

You can expect for me to give you and your child ways to work on feeling empowered in daily life, manage the range of emotions (e.g. feeling worried, overwhelmed, or sad) that come with a medical condition, and to get closer your relationship with each other.
