I’m a clinical psychologist and researcher in Toronto, Canada. My research focuses on understanding transdiagnostic factors in the development and treatment of child and adolescent psychopathology. I use a variety of approaches, including clinical trials, meta analysis, and secondary analyses of clinical and epidemiological datasets.
Areas I’m currently focused on include: 1) the general psychopathology (“p”) factor and how it can help us understand broad and specific risk/protective factors; 2) how network analysis can help us understand symptom change across therapy; and 3) the parent-youth relationship and how it can be improved using various therapy approaches.

We are developing new ways to measure everyday parent-adolescent communication in order to understand how it relates to youth and parent mental health.
A group program for parents and caregivers focused on improving relationships when youth experience depression.
We’re using intensive longitudinal data to understand how risk and protective factors are affecting kids’ mental health during the pandemic.
We are testing factors that predict how much adolescents benefit from group CBT for anxiety and depression.
I supervise clinical psychology trainees, thesis students, and postdoctoral fellows at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH).
