Research Interests

My main research interests center around the mental health of perinatal populations, with a particular focus on affordable and accessible treatment options. Some areas of interest include mindfulness interventions, exercise interventions, and the integration of mental health care into OB/GYN practices. I am also interested in investigating how perinatal depression affects infant and youth outcomes, such as infant temperament, cognitive development, and social development. Additionally, I would like to explore the impact of perinatal antidepressant medication usage on infant outcomes.
