Research Overview

My research broadly focuses on childhood adversity, the impact it has on individuals throughout their lifespans, and how interventions can be developed to help combat the consequences that potentially result from these experiences. Additionally, I am also interested in understanding resilience and how various systems interact to either inhibit or promote healthy development and adjustment.
