BIO

My research focuses on family stress (e.g., parent depression, interparental conflict) and child psychosocial adjustment.  I am particularly interested in parenting prevention and intervention efforts to enhance child adjustment in the context of family stress.  I recently completed an NIMH project involving the prevention of child mental health problems when a parent has experienced depression, an NICHD grant on the role of male coparents in mother-headed families, and an NIMH project parenting training grant on the role of technology in enhancing treatment.
