  Associate Professor

  I conduct primary, community based research with the ultimate goal of improving behavioral health outcomes. My research team and I test the effectiveness of a home based intervention to reduce postpartum depression. In addition, I oversee a large multi-year student training program to increase social work student skill in behavioral health practice in integrated health settings. I serve on committees such as the medical school planning committee, IRB and community work groups for maternal health. I'm always interested in meeting other researchers and practitioners seeking to improve the lives of mothers living in stressful and low resource environments. Show less
