I am interested in exploring the associations between exposure to interparental conflict and children’s peer relationships. Specifically, I am interested in how social cognitive elements, such as social-information processing patterns and schemas, may be mechanisms through which exposure to interparental conflict impacts peer interactions.

My clinical interests center about therapy and assessment with children and families. My specific area of interest is pediatric neuropsychology.
