Educational Background

  • PhD in Clinical Psychology, Pennsylvania State University

Areas of Research

Our mission is to use the concept of emotion regulation to better understand how emotions promote competence or in some cases create vulnerability for mental illness. In particular, we are interested in how emotions and thoughts work together to promote well-being and stress resilience but, conversely, can create vulnerability for mood and anxiety disorders. We integrate the use of neurocognitive, physiological and behavioral assessment tools to refine the conceptualization and measurement of emotion regulation and of disorders of mood across the lifespan.

Topics of interest include:

  1. Neurocognitive signatures for emotion regulation and disorders of emotion
  2. Cognitive bias modification techniques, their neural bases, and using neurocognitive measures to predict treatment response
  3. Mobile media health and the development of alternative treatment delivery strategies
  4. School-based mindfulness training
