Biography
Broadly, I am interested in the intergenerational transmission of psychopathology in the family. I have primarily focused my research on examining how maternal depression affects young children’s socioemotional development through a framework of emotion socialization. As an applied researcher and clinician, I am also interested in process-oriented research in family therapy interventions aimed at improving emotional interactions among family members. Finally, as a quantitative methodologist, I collaborate in various research projects and thus have experiences researching maternal anxiety, maternal substance use, youth suicidal ideation, and couple therapy.
