Bio
I am a tenured Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences. I conduct community-based intervention research focused on the development and implementation of more effective and accessible services to support youth mental health. My research also focuses on understanding how family relationships during adolescence can promote healthy emotion regulation and well-being or contribute to the development of psychopathology. I provide training and supervision in the delivery of evidence-based psychotherapy to student learners, as well as practicing providers in the community. I also provide psychotherapy in the Department’s Early Stage Mood Disorders Clinic.
