Research & Clinical Interests:
My primary research interests include both the effects of pediatric cancer on family adjustment and the impact of socioeconomic disadvantage on child development in pediatric populations.  Additionally, I have participated in research involving children born at low birth weights, children with traumatic brain injuries, and the qualitative evaluation of the informed consent process in pediatric oncology trials.  Clinically, I enjoy behavioral consultations in urban, primary care settings as well as facilitating parent training. I am a new member of the programming committee, so please email me any ideas or requests you may have about valuable topics to consider for later meetings.
