My research is informed by a developmental psychopathology perspective and focuses on the development of child disruptive behavior problems, preventive interventions for at-risk populations, parenting practices, early child emotion regulation, and the influence of contextual stressors on child mental health. My work on preventive interventions explores intervention moderators and mechanisms of change. One line of inquiry I have pursued in the area of contextual stressors focuses on the intersection between family economic stress and children’s behavioral development.
