"As a clinician working with families, my goal is to offer care and support that brings together our scientific understanding of autism with warmth, genuine empathy, and respect for all families. In my research, I strive to deepen our knowledge of autism so we can better understand its causes and how it affects the everyday experiences of children and families. I feel lucky to work with children and families in both of these roles!"

    Research Description

    My overarching research goal is to explore social-emotional processes in ASD and related neurodevelopmental conditions (e.g., rare genetic events, intellectual disability). Within this, I aim to better characterize neurobiological functioning underlying social and emotional experiences, explore developmental trajectories of social-emotional functioning as children and adolescents grow, and understand the role of individual differences in these factors. My research draws on a range of methodological approaches, including structured assessment, self- and caregiver-report, and neurobiological methods (EEG).
