My Approach to Care

Medical treatment can be scary and it can be overwhelming. I meet children and families where they are, often in the most vulnerable
moments, to support them in achieving the highest quality of life no matter the circumstances.

Profile

Dr. Bonifacio always knew she wanted to work with children. Pediatric psychology has provided her with the opportunity to support both the physical and mental health of children, which helps to improve the health outcomes for her patients. Dr. Bonifacio says, “My parents always told me to dream big.” She also gives credit to her own children - they continue to fuel her drive to be a lifelong learner and give her perspective on the things that matter most.

Joining children and their families on their health journey is what makes Dr. Bonifacio excited about coming to work each day! Their smiles, the growth they make in treatment, and their resilience are truly inspiring!

Dr. Bonifacio has special interests in hematology/oncology, coping with medical conditions, adherence to medical regimens, adaptation to medical treatment and school re-entry, and neurocognitive testing.
