Biography —
At the University of Kentucky, my focus was studying the connection between hope and treatment outcomes for adults undergoing the Unified Protocol Transdiagnostic Treatment. I also have studied hopelessness of low income parents who have young disruptive children as well as the callous-unemotional traits of these children and how they influence treatment outcomes.
Within the CCPP at the University of Kansas, I look forward to examining the impact of digital stress on adolescents.
