Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Human Behavior

Overview

My research focuses on understanding risk factors for psychosis-spectrum disorders in adolescence, improving methods of screening and assessment for early psychosis across settings, and developing effective intervention strategies to mitigate mental health and safety-related risk for this population.

I earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. I completed my clinical internship and postdoctoral fellowship (T32) in the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at Brown University. I am now an Assistant Professor at Brown and a Research Scientist at Rhode Island Hospital.

I am currently conducting several pilot trials exploring the development and feasibility of brief family-oriented intervention for psychiatrically hospitalized adolescents with psychosis-spectrum symptoms. 

I am also the clinic co-director for Bradley Hospital's Stride Clinic, an early psychosis assessment and consultation service for youth and families in Rhode Island.
