RESEARCH INTERESTS

My research uses a biopsychosocial approach to understanding parent–child relationships, self-regulatory development, and emerging externalizing and neurodevelopmental psychopathology in infancy and childhood. Specifically, I focus on early parent (e.g., sensitivity, harsh-intrusion, emotion socialization), child (e.g., behavioral and physiological arousal, attention), and relational factors (e.g., attachment) that contribute to children’s emotion regulation and cognitive regulation skills. Relatedly, I examine how these developmental processes contribute the emergence of early conduct problems, ADHD, and callous- unemotional behaviors, as well as the impacts of these psychopathologies on multi-domain functioning.
