Who We Are

I am an epidemiologist and Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Washington. My research primarily focuses on improving mental health outcomes throughout the life course to support family wellbeing and thriving in low- and middle-income settings, with emphasis on: 1. men’s/father’s mental health and parenting skills, 2. digital mental health interventions to support families affected by early psychosis, 3. integrating perinatal mental health services into maternal-child health care. Current projects are based in East and West Africa. My work utilizes methods ranging from user-centered design of digital mental health interventions to advanced epidemiologic and statistical methods.
