I am a native of Denver, Colorado and have spent most of my life in the metro area.  I attended college in Minnesota and majored in Psychology and Early Childhood Development. I attended graduate school at the University of Denver and majored in Educational Psychology and Early Childhood Special Education.  I have spent my career working with very young children with special needs, but my love has been working with infants and toddlers and their families, empowering parents and caregivers to provide for their children to meet developmental milestones.  I truly believe play-based intervention using the coaching the caregiver model is the key to opening the door to successful early intervention.

When not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling and playing with my dog, Little Jo.
