Biography —
Broadly, I am interested in the mechanisms underlying childhood anxiety and related internalizing disorders. My primary research interests lie at the intersection of emotion regulation, attention biases, and intergenerational anxiety within anxiety disorders. I aim to identify mechanisms in anxiety and related disorders that could be driving childhood anxiety. In addition, my hope is to identify mechanisms that can be focused on as treatment targets for youth.
Secondarily, I am interested in utilizing physiological and multi-report data to understand parental influence on anxiety as well as attentional biases in youth with anxiety. I recognize the lack of accessible mental health resources for many individuals and am interested investigating the use of technology (i.e., apps) to bridge this research to practice gap. I am invested in the dissemination of evidence-based interventions to increase mental health treatment access for youth.
