My research currently focuses on the sequelae of maltreatment and family stress, including the phenomena of emotional maltreatment and parentification. I approach psychological research and practice from a developmental psychopathology perspective, which is informed by the simultaneous consideration of both competence and psychopathology, and emphasizes developmental processes of risk and resilience in pathways to adaptation or maladaptation. To this end, I am interested in identifying contextual factors at multiple levels of analysis that may mediate or moderate the effects of adversity on outcomes in childhood and adulthood.
