My primary research focuses on two areas of investigation:
These two lines of research are interrelated and synergistic, with the study of maltreated individuals bringing several advantages to the RDoC project, including: the study of a subset of patients that are frequently treatment-resistant to standard clinical interventions; examination of a relatively homogenous sample with the onset of psychopathology proposed to be associated with stress-related mechanisms; and well-established relevant animal models to facilitate mechanistic translational research.
My investigations have utilized clinical assessment, neuroimaging, and genetic and epigenetic research methods, with the goal of understanding the effects of early adversity on later development and factors that modify outcomes. My work has embraced a broad spectrum of perspectives, from neurobiology to social policy

Patient Ratings & Comments
The Patient Rating score is an average of all responses to physician related questions on the national CG-CAHPS Medical Practice patient experience survey through Press Ganey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score. Comments are also gathered from our CG-CAHPS Medical Practice Survey through Press Ganey and displayed in their entirety. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.
