Research Interests

My current research focuses on common factors in cognitive behaviour therapy for autistic youth, with the aim of understanding why certain children benefit from participating in therapy while others do not. I am interested in examining various therapeutic process factors, such as therapeutic alliance, youth engagement, and parent involvement, in relation to treatment change and improvements in mental health outcomes for autistic young people.
