I am a Clinical Neuropsychologist and Board-Certified Behavior Analyst, Doctoral (BCBA-D). I have trained and worked in the field for over 30 years. I am founder and president of Emerge, which is a private practice clinic focused on the diagnosis and treatment of mental health conditions with a specialty in serving those with autism, neurodevelopmental disorders, ADHD, anxiety, and mood disorders.

I am board certified in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and a licensed psychologist in Colorado, Nevada and Florida. I also have an Interjurisdictional Practice Certificate (IPC), authorizing me to practice in 33 States (see https://psypact.org/mpage/psypactmap for details). In addition to my credentials outlined above, I received additional post-graduate training in Pivotal Response Treatment at University of California Santa Barbara and in ABA at University of North Texas.

I held administrative positions at and/or helped commence five treatment programs for young children with autism across the United States including a site the UCLA multisite study. I also worked in five school districts as a school psychologist and have completed numerous Functional Behavior Assessments (FBAs) and Independent Educational Evaluations (IEEs) as a private practice provider.

I am former adjunct faculty at the University of Denver and taught a graduate course in Developmental Psychopathology. I also taught continuing education courses, as well as trained and supervised interns, graduate students, and practicum students. I am coauthor of a text for Springer Publishers on the Assessment of Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Together with the Emerge team, I evaluated Endrew F., a case which was ultimately heard by the Supreme Court of the United States. Previously, I have been qualified by the court as an expert in the areas of clinical neuropsychology, autism, and/or trauma for both criminal and civil cases both at the state and federal level.
