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
