My primary area of research is on mindfulness-based interventions for adolescents with depression, anxiety, and/or pain. I also do research on health equity and social determinants of health, vulnerable child and adolescent populations ("Social Pediatrics"), and somatization and mind-body medicine. I have written a book for teens called "The Mindful Teen: Powerful Skills to Help You Handle Stress One Moment at a Time," and a website, http://www.mindfulnessforteens.com, to help translate research and innovation into practice and public knowledge.
