Welcome to my website! I am a clinical psychology doctoral student at Northwestern University where I work with Dr. Rick Zinbarg. My research examines how internalizing problems (i.e., clinical problems in anxiety and depression) develop in young people and what we can do to prevent their emergence. In another line of work, I evaluate quantitative methods used to examine mental health risk factors and outcomes when mental health is conceptualized hierarchically (as in the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology).
