Coronavirus Update
We are prepared and ready to treat patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19, the condition caused by the coronavirus that first appeared in late 2019. Our clinical team has been specially trained on how to identify, isolate and treat patients with this and other contagious illnesses. However, for perspective, our bigger threat in the Rocky Mountain region is seasonal influenza – and it's not too late to get your flu vaccine. If you have questions, please contact your child's doctor or call our ParentSmart Healthline™ at 720-777-0123.

Experience and background
My clinical interests include the assessment and treatment of common childhood difficulties (e.g. toileting/feeding/sleeping difficulties, tantrums, noncompliance, etc.), more severe behavior problems, and parenting. I am also interested in addressing the psychological aspects of illness, including treatment adherence, chronic pain, and headache management. Additionally, I work with patients presenting with a wide variety of emotional, behavioral, and academic difficulties, including anxiety and mood related concerns.

For Referring Providers:
Central to my research interests are variables related to the development, display, and modification of disruptive behavior problems exhibited by children. I am particularly interested in studying proximal and distal associated risk factors and in establishing prevention strategies for such problems in childhood. My research lab at Children's Hospital Colorado has focused primarily on empirically evaluating the utility of a transdiagnostic approach to the assessment and treatment of pediatric behavioral health difficulties.
