Research interests: I am interested in psychopathological disorders including substance abuse, depression, suicidality and PTSD, as well as novel techniques to combat these conditions through the lens of a positive psychology approach with specific focus on recovery via identity reconstruction, goal achievement, pursuit of education, and developing vocational purpose.
Thesis: My thesis explores whether educational and/or vocational achievement facilitates recovery from addiction to drugs and/or alcohol. I believe the pursuit of goal achievement provides the structure, competency, and purpose needed to build a non-addict identity separate from a former lifestyle of active addiction and that developing this path could shape future treatment techniques.

Research interests: My research interests are focused on the bidirectional nature of the parent-child relationship, social, emotional, and behavioral outcomes in children, as well as the role of early intervention in those outcomes.
Thesis: My thesis is focused on understanding how child characteristics and parent characteristics directly influence parent sensitive responding in early caregiver-child relationships and how those characteristics of the parent and child influence each other in this context. Factors of interest include parent and child demographics, child temperament, parent depression, parent coping self-efficacy, and food insecurity.
