My clinical and research interests focus on perinatal and infant mental health. My clinical work is largely conducted with caregivers and their infants or young children from a relationship-based perspective. I enjoy having the opportunity to work with families across a variety of settings including home, clinic, and hospital contexts.  I am interested in relationally focused assessment of parenting self-efficacy, parental anxiety, parental depression, and related constructs. I am also interested in culturally sensitive intervention and assessment.
