Who We Are

Personal Statement

My research focuses on strategies to improve pediatric mental health care quality, such as increasing measurement-based care–the use of patient/caregiver reported data to inform clinical-decision making. I also study the impact of quality improvement interventions on pediatric mental health service disparities with the goal of developing interventions to prevent or reduce such disparities and improving mental health care quality for all youths and families.

My clinical expertise includes Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavior Therapy for teens and families to address a variety of mood and anxiety disorders as well as behavior problems and parent-child conflict. I provide parent training and consultation for managing young children’s anxiety and behavior problems. I am fluent in Mandarin Chinese.
