Research Interests
My research examines how to promote healthy social, emotional, and scholastic adjustment when children are at risk due to stressors such as poverty, child maltreatment, or developmental disorders. I am especially interested in how parents foster resilient outcomes, and how interventions can contribute to healthy development among at risk children and their parents. Attachment and other motivational theories are important guiding influences on the research and interventions I conduct.
