Research Interests
Broadly speaking, I am interested in risk factors that contribute to the development of depression in youths, as well as dissemination of effective treatment. I am particularly interested in how youths develop both maladaptive coping strategies that contribute to the development of depressive symptoms over time and how treatment can impact selection of more effective coping strategies.
