Research Interests:

I am interested in research projects addressing recovery and health disparities. For instance, a study I was involved in focused on assessing help seeking, therapeutic alliance, and satisfaction with services among monolingual Spanish speaking Latinas receiving behavioral health services. Another important area of interest is on the development and psychometric evaluation of assessment instruments for monolingual Spanish speaking Latinos. I am interested in conducting research on natural recovery from substance use in the monolingual Spanish speaking and bilingual Latino populations living in the U.S. and in developing and testing culturally sensitive treatment protocols for Latinos affected with substance use disorders.
