Dr. Gerdes graduated from Purdue University in 2004 after completing her clinical internship at the University of Florida. She joined the Marquette faculty in 2004, completed her postdoctoral training at the Medical College of Wisconsin - Children’s Hospital in 2006, and became a licensed psychologist in 2007. Her clinical and research specialty is childhood ADHD. After arriving at Marquette, she opened an ADHD specialty clinic as part of the Center for Psychological Services. The mission of the clinic is to provide state-of-the-art treatment to families, quality clinical experience to Marquette’s clinical graduate students, and a foundation for learning more about ADHD. Current research projects include culturally-modifying current behavioral treatments for ADHD to treat Latino families, determining the psychometric properties of Spanish-versions of several child behavior and parenting measures, examining child, parental, and family factors as predictors of treatment dropout, and examining ADHD subtype differences in parental/family factors.
