Professor
University of Miami
Miami, Florida
For more than 25 years, ABCT has been my professional home. I am a Professor and Associate Chair for Graduate Studies in the Department of Psychology at the University of Miami, where I direct the Child and Adolescent Mood and Anxiety Treatment Program. I received my Clinical Psychology Ph.D. at the University of Mississippi and, after internship, became a Research Assistant Professor at Boston University’s Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders. I am dedicated to developing, testing, and disseminating cognitive behavioral interventions for youth with anxiety and related concerns. Because of the great need to broaden the reach of CBT, my NIH-funded work includes effectiveness trials examining treatment of youth emotional distress in community settings. This work has resulted in over 160 publications, including books and treatment manuals. My true passion is training others in youth interventions. Developing the Unified Protocols for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders in Children and Adolescents with my colleagues allowed me to expand my teaching domestically and globally. I have been involved in multiple professional and University-based service activities over the year and am proud to be the 2022-2023 President of the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies.
