In 2001, she transferred to the Department of Psychiatry's Outpatient Psychiatric Services (OPS) where she served as Clinical Faculty and worked with a variety of patients with a full continuum of psychiatric disorders. As a member of a stellar team of psychiatrists, medical residents, psychology interns, clinical social workers and MFTs she learned to provide the most current multi-modal treatment regimes.  In OPS she worked with individual patients, ran groups for Cognitive Behavioral Treatment of Depression, Cognitive Behavioral Treatment of OCD, and under the Supervision of Connie Saindon, MA. worked with the Survivors of Violent Loss Treatment Group.

In order to support her husband (a professor at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo), she moved to San Luis Obispo in 2008 and began a private practice where she worked for 10-years.  In 2018, her first grandchild was born and her husband began the retirement process in 2019. This began the move to return to San Diego to be closer to family.

Dr. Aylor loves art, graphics and architecture and served as Website and Directory Chairperson of the Central Coast Psychological Association (CCPA) from 2009 until 2018.  She produced the first printed Directory of Psychologists for the Central Coast, a full color, glossy booklet that was distributed to physicians and community agencies in 2011, In 2016, Dr. Aylor developed and implemented the first CE Seminar Series for CCPA to provide accessible and inexpensive continuing education opportunities to mental health clinicians on the central coast and throughout the State of California.  

She and her very supportive husband enjoy spending time with their families, dogs, hiking, sailing, dining with friends, renovating their home and traveling when not busy with private practice.
