I am a research fellow at the Heinz C. Prechter Bipolar Research Program at the University of Michigan. I obtained my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Penn State University and completed an APA-accredited psychology internship at the New Mexico VA/Southwest Consortium. My primary research interests center around the underlying mechanisms of affective disorders such as bipolar disorder, unipolar depression, and anxiety disorders. Currently, my research focuses on understanding the emotion dysregulation processes involved in repetitive negative thoughts, such as worry and rumination. To investigate this topic, I am utilizing methodologies from experimental psychology, psychophysiology, and time-intensive analytic approaches. I am a licensed psychologist in the state of Michigan. My therapeutic approach is primarily based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), with selective integration of techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when appropriate. I specialize in treating adults with emotional disorders. Outside of academics, I like playing basketball, drawing, and birdwatching.
