Research Interests

I am not accepting a student in the Clinical Psychology PhD program for Fall 2025 (this application cycle).
Through the ACCTION Lab at Loyola University Chicago I focus on community-based assessment and intervention development for Black and/or Latiné youth. We do focus on working with youth who are neurodiverse, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and cognitive disengagement syndrome (CDS, formerly known as sluggish cognitive tempo or SCT), but a lot of our work focuses on anti-racism, trauma, and internalizing diagnoses experienced by Black and/or Latiné youth with ADHD. Current students research interests include:
  • Black youth and coping with trauma
  • Trauma and developmental trauma disorder
  • Activism
  • Anti-racist practice
  • Culturally responsive mental health services
We are a health equity lab that uses liberation focused methods to increase engagement and understanding of treatment needs for youth that have been systemically oppressed (e.g., creating culturally responsive interventions for Black and Latina/é/o by listening to needs of the community and allowing flexibility in the intervention development). We focus on working with Black and Brown youth and their families using a cultural responsiveness and healing-focused lens. This is particularly important for youth with ADHD, who often face discrimination, oppression, and racism related trauma in school, the medical system, and from peers. I also have expertise in longitudinal data analyses and psychometrics. Currently, we are working on Project CRAFT (Culturally Responsive Assessments for Teens), which is focused on creating healing and strengths based psychodiagnostic assessments for teens from systemically oppressed backgrounds (i.e., Black, Latina/e/o adolescents with ADHD). For more information, go to ACCTIONLAB.com!Project CRAFT (Culturally Responsive Assessments for Teens) is focused on creating healing and strengths based psychodiagnostic assessments for Black and Latina/e/o teens who are suspected of having ADHD.
