I am a psychologist and Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who specializes in working with infants, children, adolescents, and their families. I earned my doctoral degree in Developmental Psychology at Claremont Graduate University. My predoctoral and postdoctoral fellowships were completed at Claremont McKenna College and Rady Children’s Hospital San Diego, respectively. My experience includes administering comprehensive evaluations for infants and young children, providing behavioral therapy, delivering caregiver support, and conducting research.

My skillset serves neurodivergent individuals, including those with autism, attention challenges, intellectual differences, and developmental delays. I also provide evaluations for children with mental health and behavioral concerns, including anxiety and depression, conduct disorders, as well as trauma and stressor-related disorders.

I also provide behavioral therapy for neurodiverse children. I offer these services in both English and Spanish. With an approach that involves both behavior analytic and positive psychological perspectives, my goals as a clinician include promoting early detection and accessibility of services through comprehensive evaluations and evidence-based treatment.
