I'm a pediatric psychologist specializing in development and behavior across a child’s lifespan. I work in an integrated primary care clinic and meet with families the same day they bring a concern to their pediatrician. I also work with families before concerns arise to promote health and wellness. My main goal is to build solid and lasting relationships with the children and families that I work with. This team approach allows even small touches and short interactions in primary care to impact a child's life trajectory significantly.

When I was growing up, my mom worked in family services, and I have always wanted to work with children. After a few twists and turns, I landed on pediatric psychology. It seemed like the best way for me to positively impact the lives of children and families.

My research focuses primarily on strategies for targeting specific concerns within the primary care context to provide accessible, evidence-based care for all children.

When I'm not at work, I enjoy reading, running, swimming, biking (anything active) and cheering on the Cincinnati sports teams (Go Bengals!).
