About

Biography

I am a pediatric psychologist and assistant professor in the Division of Behavioral Medicine and Clinical Psychology (BMCP), specializing in neurodevelopmental and behavioral psychology. My clinical work includes supporting children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental disabilities, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual disability. I am a member of two multidisciplinary teams that makes these diagnoses and also provide treatment for behavioral feeding disorders. Along with my colleague, I co-lead the Bridge Skill Development Program, which is an early intervention program for children under age 4 on the autism spectrum. My clinical research interests are primarily related to caregiver education, parent-mediated interventions, and behavioral feeding disorders.

In addition to my clinical practice, I am passionate about education and training. I serve as the director of the Psychology Fellowship Program for the Division of Behavioral Medicine and Clinical Psychology (BMCP). In this role, I provide oversight of training and clinical guidance to fellows across the division in multiple research and clinical practice areas. Learn more about BMCP’s Psychology Fellowship Program.

Lastly, I serve as the outreach and education lead in the Division of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics (DDBP). In this role, I coordinate and / or lead monthly caregiver education classes on a variety of topics. I also collaborate with community agencies who share common goals of supporting local families and children with neurodevelopmental disabilities.
