- Minority stress mechanisms and resilience factors
- Structural interventions for health equity
- Community-based participatory methods
- Ecological systems approaches to violence prevention
- Digital mental health innovations
Publication analysis reveals strong emphasis on intervention development and evaluation, particularly randomized controlled trials of cognitive-behavioral therapies adapted for LGBTQ populations. Her work consistently addresses structural barriers to care and integrates implementation science principles to bridge research-practice gaps in marginalized communities.
