Research Interests

I am interested in extending the research on the relationship between internalizing behaviors like depression and anxiety and the occurrence of ADHD and learning disabilities in children, adolescents, and young adults. I am especially interested in the application of neuropsychological techniques to better understand the interaction between affective symptomatology and attention deficits and potentially to predict those young people who are most at risk for developing affective or behavioral disorders.
