I am a clinical psychologist and implementation scientist with a particular interest in improving quality and access to mental health care. The long-term goal of my research is to develop and evaluate strategies to promote the uptake of evidence-based care into routine practice, with the ultimate goal of improving the effectiveness of mental health services for children and adults in non-specialty mental health settings. I lead a variety of NIMH and AHRQ-funded research projects focused on improving access to and implementation of evidence-based mental health services in primary care and school settings. I also regularly collaborate with students and other investigators who are interested in applying implementation science methods in their research, and work directly with systems of care to support their integration of mental health services and team processes. I especially enjoy collaborating with MPH students in the development and execution of their Capstone projects.
