Clinical Interests for Referring Providers

I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in early childhood mental health concerns. I am very passionate about supporting the whole family system from a strengths-based, trauma-informed, culturally responsive lens. I provide family focused treatments like Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) and PC-CARE both of which can be adapted for a variety of early childhood mental health concerns including behavioral concerns, emotion dysregulation, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and ASD for children ages 1-10.

Research Interest for Referring Providers

My research program focuses on promoting women’s mental and physical health during pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood through relational interventions. My current and future work seeks to: (1) examine how relational interventions to promote women’s health can be more easily implemented and disseminated (e.g., from maternal fetal medicine, OBGYN, or family medicine clinics, NICU); and 2) identify the psychological (relational functioning, depressive/anxiety symptoms) and biological (e.g., neuropeptide hormones such as oxytocin and stress hormones such as cortisol) mechanisms of intervention change, explore comparative effectiveness across formats (e.g., group, individual, app-based) and identify for whom and when relational interventions are best delivered. My long-term career objective is to develop relational interventions that are evidence-based, scalable, accessible, and cost-effective to support the mental and physical health of the whole family system through targeting the relationship system as a unique risk and protective factor.
