My research focuses on social, emotional, and cognitive development during adolescence. My overarching interest is in predictors and outcomes of parenting during adolescence, with related interests in maternal well-being. My work includes basic and applied approaches, and I employ cross-sectional, longitudinal, and experimental designs. I study both typically- and atypically-developing adolescents and their parents. Specific topics of interest include mother-adolescent relations, parenting, body image and eating disorders, and ADHD.

My overall research interests include examining the relation between Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) and sleep, primarily during adolescence. I am particularly interested in exploring how sleep problems can not only exacerbate ADHD symptoms, but how they may also mimic ADHD-like symptoms and impairments. I also investigate how other environmental influences, such as stress and parenting, are related to ADHD outcomes.

My research interests include the social and developmental processes related to body image development and their effects on eating pathology throughout the lifespan. I am also interested in the development of weight stigma and its effects on the physical and mental health of individuals and groups, as well as how it is reinforced through family and peer interpersonal relationships. I also have interests in social media use and its effects on the socio-emotional development of children and adolescents.
