Education

• Post-Doctoral Fellow, Child Clinical Psychology, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, 2008-2010
• Ph.D., Clinical Psychology, University of Kentucky, 2008
• B.A., Psychology, University of Michigan, 1999

Research Interests

• Emotion dysregulation in children
• ADHD and comorbid internalizing/externalizing disorders of childhood
• Intervention development

My research focuses primarily on emotion regulation and dysregulation among children with and without ADHD. Specific areas of research include 1) The link between emotion dysregulation and emotional and behavioral problems in children with ADHD; 2) Development of interventions for the treatment of emotion dysregulation among children with ADHD, including the Managing Frustration for Children treatment and 3) Use of portable data assessment technology (i.e.,smartphones) in the assessment of mood and behavior.
