My primary clinical and research interests are in the areas of early developmental psychopathology, parenting, and attachment relationships (e.g., mother-infant attachment, intergenerational transmission of attachment). My current research focuses on the impact of prenatal and postnatal maternal depression on infant development, mother-infant attachment, and maternal and infant stress response.
