She completed her predoctoral internship (Child Clinical Track) at University of New Mexico's (UNM) Health Sciences Center.

Personal Statement
Dr. Price's work primarily focuses on strengthening New Mexico’s behavioral health systems and reducing behavioral health disparities using community-driven, implementation science approaches. This work frequently involves implementing and evaluating federally and regionally funded grants, as well as collaborating with state partners on workforce development trainings and the implementation of statewide behavioral health initiatives.
Clinically, she is experienced in providing evidence-based, direct clinical services including therapy, assessment, and behavioral health consultation, across the lifespan. As a licensed psychologist, she specializes in working with youth, specifically providing trauma-focused therapy services to children and families. She has worked and trained in settings including primary care, schools, inpatient psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment centers, and outpatient therapy settings.
Dr. Price maintains an active research program. Guided by a developmental psychopathology framework, her research elucidates child emotional development as transdiagnostically relevant to child psychopathology risk. She is particularly interested in how caregivers’ and peers’ emotion-related characteristics and behaviors (e.g., emotion socialization) influence children’s own ways of regulating and responding to emotions. She utilizes longitudinal study designs, with growing emphasis on person- and growth-centered approaches and contextual factors (e.g., brain hemodynamics, type of emotion, sociocultural context).
