As a pediatric specialist, I value evidence-based care and have a breadth of training and experience in clinical neuropsychology.  I earned a doctoral degree in clinical psychology from Brigham Young University and completed a one-year pre-doctoral internship at Texas Children’s Hospital/Baylor College of Medicine.  I then completed a two-year post-doctoral fellowship in clinical neuropsychology at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center with major rotations in pediatric cancer & blood disorders, neurorehabilitation, and general outpatient services.  

Before moving to the northern Colorado area and opening a private practice in July 2021 , I served as a pediatric neuropsychologist at Children’s Health and an assistant professor at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas, where I specialized in evaluating patients with acquired brain injuries (e.g., traumatic brain injury, stroke, encephalitis, etc.) and other neurologic conditions.   While there, I worked closely with physicians and therapists to improve inpatient and outpatient brain injury rehabilitation programs and came to value a team-based, multi-disciplinary approach to treatment planning and patient care.   Because I continue to believe strong teams lead to the best outcomes,  I work closely with other providers along the Colorado Front Range to ensure you receive the highest quality of care.  

In addition to my work at Neuropsychological Solutions, I also work as a pediatric neuropsychologist through the Stress, Trauma, Adversity Research, and Treatment (START) Center at the University of Colorado Anchutz Medical Campus and am serving as treasurer elect for the Colorado Neuropsychological Society (CNS).  I have a special clinical interest in cognitive rehabilitation and my research focuses on evaluating the impact of everyday lifestyle factors (e.g., physical activity, sleep, diet) on the neurocognitive development of children and adolescents.  I am involved in various professional organizations and have actively participated in the education and clinical supervision of graduate students, residents, and fellows.
