In her research, she uses and studies implementation science to improve equitable health and healthcare delivery between non-vulnerable and vulnerable populations, such as people of color, sexual minority (lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer [LGBQ]), and low-income individuals. Her work focuses on implementing health psychology interventions or interventions in primary care settings. She complements her research with clinical care and training in primary care mental health integration.
