I study how to best support the mental health needs of youth in schools and communities. I have published over 80 articles, chapters and treatment manuals related depression treatment and suicide prevention among youth, school mental health, and culturally-tailored treatments. My work seeks to amplify the voices of marginalized youth and families

I specialize in the delivery of evidence-based interventions for children and families and have expertise in the treatment of internalizing disorders, including depressive disorders and other mood disorders, and anxiety disorders, including social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, separation anxiety disorder, panic disorders and OCD. In addition to treating children and families, I also consult with schools and primary care professionals regarding their mental health practices.
