Our research focuses on anxiety in children. We focus on on identifying and validating neural markers to better understand anxiety as well as using digital intervention approaches to decrease risk for anxiety. We have primarily focused on error-related brain activity (the ERN - the brain's response to making mistakes), using event-related potentials (ERPs) from childhood through adulthood, in an effort to better understand trajectories of risk for anxiety and thereby illuminate novel treatment and prevention methods. We are especially interested in examining the relationship between parenting and anxiety in offspring, as well as examining digital intervention strategies that directly target neural risk markers.

On-going projects include the development of novel digital intervention strategies for parents and children to reduce risk for anxiety and mood disorders.
