My Research

As a therapist and clinical researcher, I am passionate about using science to improve the lives of people experiencing emotional and behavioral challenges. To this end, my program of research seeks to understand how emotional problems develop in childhood, exploring the role of biological factors, the family's social environment, and the cultural context.

To understand how we can better treat psychological problems across the lifespan and enhance access to high-quality psychological care, I have worked on multiple studies testing the efficacy of cognitive-behavioral treatments for anxiety, behavioral and neurodevelopment disorders.
