Research Interests:<\/em><\/span><\/span> I am broadly interested in how exposure to trauma during childhood affects development, in particular, the impact of complex (i.e., chronic) interpersonal trauma on emotion regulation and cognitive styles in adolescence and emerging adulthood. I am also interested in the development and implementation of psychosocial interventions that aim to reduce trauma-specific symptomatology and promote well-being among children and their families.<\/span><\/p>\n

Clinical Interests:<\/em><\/span>\u00a0My clinical interests include internalizing symptoms (e.g., negative cognitive self-biases) stemming from trauma and adversity in children and adolescents.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
