About Me :
I'm a professor of psychology and current Director of Clinical Training at Miami University in Oxford, OH. Previously, I was the Robert H. and Nancy J. Blayney assistant professor at Miami. I received a joint Ph.D. in child clinical and developmental psychology at The University of Missouri-Columbia in 2009 and completed my internship and a post-doctoral fellowship at The University of Mississippi Medical Center.

Research Interests:
Rooted within a developmental psychopathology framework and influenced by Bronfenbrenner’s ecological model of development, my research focuses on understanding systemic contributors to the etiology and maintenance of youth emotional disorders. My work examines how emotion processes and interpersonal relationships interact to put youth at risk for depressive and, to a lesser extent, anxious symptoms. Specific constructs of interest include social information processing, parent-child interactions, emotion regulation, biological stress reactivity, and a construct I’m developing called family savoring of positive events. Long-term, I aim to develop an integrated model of the multiple pathways of risk and resilience from emotion experience, reactivity, and regulation to youth anxiety and depression outcomes within the context of specific interpersonal relationships.
Teaching Interests:
I design my courses to adhere to what I believe are four main tenets of learning. Specifically, learning should be active, associative and applied, cooperative, and strengths-based. I hope that students walk away from classes and work in the research lab with a better understanding of the science of psychology, the unresolved issues yet to be tackled in the field, and the role psychology can play in improving the lives of children and families. Recently taught courses and broader interests include Introduction to Statistics in Psychology, Abnormal Psychology, Senior Capstones on Depression, Developmental Psychopathology Across the Lifespan, Affective Development, Practica in Child and Family Clinical Interventions, and Structural Equation Modeling.
