I am a licensed clinical psychologist and Associate Professor in the Psychology Department and the Clinical Psychology Ph.D. program at Clark University. My research focuses on how individuals and families function within systems of racism, classism, and patriarchy. I am particularly interested in how children and adolescents navigate these systems and develop within them. My research primarily uses qualitative and mixed methodologies.
I teach introductory and advanced qualitative methods courses to undergraduate and graduate students. In addition, I teach graduate level courses on child and adult psychological assessment.
I am available to consult on qualitative and mixed-methods study design, analysis, and meaning-making for funded research, nonprofits, and private companies. I have particularly strong interests in consulting on projects and initiatives related to mental health or children and families.
I am an enthusiastic collaborator; please reach out if you want to work together. I am committed to supporting other scholars, particularly those navigating academia as first gen, people of color, mothers, and other structurally marginalized social positions. Reach out for syllabi, grant proposals, job application materials, or other resources; I will share these materials freely as requested.
