I am a child psychologist working remotely in FL for the University of Miami. I specialize in working with young children and their families, and have experience with anxiety, depression, selective mutism, disruptive behaviors, trauma and developmental delays, but my passion is working with children who have autism spectrum disorder (ASD). I also teach child development and child psychopathology remotely at the University of Miami, and work as the project manager for the statewide dissemination and training of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy throughout Florida. I have co-founded a 501c3 non-profit organization - Play it Forward is a toy lending library with a focus on equitable access to high-quality, developmentally supportive toys and inclusion for children with disabilities. We have recently partnered with the Miami-Dade public library system, where we will be able to distribute hundreds of sets of toys for children all throughout the county, including adaptive toys for children with disabilities in the catalog. I also engage in research in my job as a clinical psychologist, with a focus on decreasing family disparities and increasing access to needed services. I am lucky enough to work under a grant from the Children's Trust in Miami-Dade, meaning that we can provide our therapeutic services for free to families. Recently we have submitted papers about the telehealth translation and implementation of several of the evidence-based services we practice, and we are currently working on papers evaluating our screening and recruitment procedures for whether they're reaching the Miami-Dade population in an equitable manner (i.e., are we reaching a larger percentage of wealthy or highly educated families than the percentage in the Miami-Dade population as a whole?). In my free time I have been busy training for a half-marathon to raise money for Play it Forward so we can purchase more toys for children with disabilities to add to the toy library.
