"My clinical work and research are focused on helping youth with ADHD and their families be resilient and successful. Specifically, I am interested in helping families engage in multi-modal treatments for ADHD in the service of improving the long-term mental and physical health for these young people. I enjoy working with children, teenagers, and young adults with ADHD and their parents. I also have a special interest in behavioral treatments for co-occurring anxiety and ADHD."

Biography
Originally a native of Gig Harbor, WA, I received my doctorate in clinical psychology at Arizona State University. My graduate research training focused on family-based prevention of mental health problems in high-risk populations. I completed my clinical internship and postdoctoral training at Duke University Medical Center, where I specialized in assessment and treatment of ADHD and related disorders. I am excited to return to the Pacific Northwest to join the staff at Seattle Children's Hospital!

- Research Description
-
My research focuses on health behaviors for children and adolescents with ADHD, including substance use, physical activity, and sleep. My colleagues and I study how these behaviors affect long-term functioning in order to design programs to promote healthy behaviors in childhood. I am also interested in strategies for improving appropriate treatment of ADHD through the teen years with the goal of promoting successful transitions into young adulthood.
