• Assistant Professor

Research Interests

My research interests include learning health systems, implementation science, measurement-based care, emotion regulation, and evidence-based intervention/ prevention. I am interested in transdiagnostic processes (i.e., emotion regulation), prevention of mental disorders, and promotion of mental wellness in adolescence and young adulthood. I am interested in developing, assessing, and implementing programs addressing barriers for underserved populations (e.g., low-income, justice-involved, underrepresented ethnic/racial minority groups) through electronic, low-resource, and low-cost interventions.
