Hello! I look forward to working with you and your family. I am a clinical psychologist here at Kimel Psychological Services providing evaluations for toddlers, children, and adolescents. I would love to work with your family to identify your child’s strengths and the best ways to support your child’s needs. I collaborate closely with families, schools, and therapists to provide recommendations that will help your child thrive. I have a passion for working with young children whose parents are wondering about autism spectrum disorder, developmental delays, or learning disabilities. I enjoy working with neurodiverse children across the spectrum and those with genetic conditions, medical needs, and/or bilingual backgrounds in English and Spanish.

 

I completed my Bachelor’s of Science degree in Psychology at Yale University and studied autism at the Yale Child Study Center. I then worked as a clinician at UCLA’s Center for Autism Research and Treatment providing play-based therapy and assessment for children with autism and Down syndrome. I earned my Master’s Degree and Ph.D. in Child Clinical Psychology at the University of Denver. During this program, I completed two training rotations at Children’s Hospital Colorado. I completed my predoctoral internship and postdoctoral fellowship at Children’s Hospital of Orange County in the Thompson Autism and Neurodevelopmental Center providing treatment and evaluation for young children with autism.

 

Although originally from southern California, I have lived in Colorado for 6 years. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my husband and son exploring the outdoors, reading, cooking, and playing with my dog.
