Research Interests
My program of research centers on developing and evaluating interventions that promote mental health among multiple marginalized populations, particularly lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) people of color (POC). This area of interest has developed over the last 10 years through my experiences doing advocacy, clinical practice, and research. I have developed varied methodological skills and capacities in multiple forms of inquiry, including advanced qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods, to support my program of research. With clinical research overlooking LGBTQ+ POC, I endeavor to use these skills to elevate and address the needs of these populations in this pressing and emergent area.
